Question

Given that AABC ADEF. Find the scale factor from AABC to ADEF.A2x24B20CDX-2E5

Answer 1

1) To find the scale factor for these triangles, we need to write a pair of ratios and then solve for x:

`\begin{gathered} (2x)/(4)=(20)/(5) \\ \\ 10x=80 \\ \\ (10x)/(10)=(80)/(10) \\ \\ x=8 \\ \\ \end{gathered}`

Now, we can plug x=8 into those:
