Question

Given that triangle ABC ~ triangle AB'C', determine the length of side AC'.

A. 1.5


B. 2


C. 3


D. 0.74

Answer 1

We have triangle ABC ~ triangle AB'C'.

Then, /AC'/ / /AC / = /B'C'/ / /BC / ;

/AC'/ / 6 = 2 / 8;

/AC'/ = ( 6 · 2 ) / 8;

/AC'/ = 12 / 8 = 1.5;

The correct answer is A. 1.5;
