We see that:

AB and JK are corresponding

BC and KL are corresponding

AC and JL are corresponding

So, if we divide the values we would find that:


\begin{gathered} (JK)/(AB)=(36)/(27)=(4)/(3)\text{ (Simplifying)} \\ (KL)/(BC)=(49)/(36)=(4)/(3)\text{ (Simplifying)} \\ (JL)/(AC)=(28)/(21)=(4)/(3)\text{(Simplifying)} \end{gathered}

Part 1: The scale factor would be 4/3.

Part 2: The ratios would be:


(JK)/(AB)\text{ , }(KL)/(BC),\text{ }(JL)/(AC)
