Question

ΔLMO below is similar to ΔPNO. If LO = 18 ft, PO = 9 ft, and PN = 5 ft, what is the length of LM?

What is the scale factor of ΔOMO to ΔPNO?

Answer 1

The length of LM is 10, and the scale factor is 2, if not 2 then 1/2.

Explanation:

9 is half of 18, so the ratio of LO to PO would be 18/9 this is equal to 2.
