Answer:

k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The triangles in example 1 are similar triangles but differs in size

We are to calculate the scale factor k

Using the formula

Scale factor k = size of the larger triangle/size of the smaller trinagle

Since they are similar triangles;

k = DF/AB

Given

DF = 48

AB = 12

Substitute the given values into the expression for k above to have;

k = 48/12

k = 4

Hence the scale factor from triangle ABC to DEF is 4
