Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation: The answer is A, because line UV:XY is 3:2, line TV:WY is also 3:2, and line UT:XW is equivalent to 3;2. If your unsure about how ratios work, a ratio is basically a fraction. 3:2 is also 3/2. So lets take UV:XY as an example. 18/12 after simplifying is to 3/2, and because ratio is also a way of writing a fraction, 3/2 = 3:2.I hope this helped! :)

Answer:

scale factor of 3

Explanation:

you look at each corresponding side and see how you got from one number to the other. In this case, you got from the 8 in triangle one to the 24 in triangle 2, by multiplying by 3. Same thing with the other numbers.
