Question

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are 4cm and 3metres .What is the enlargement factor 'k'?​

Answer 1

`k = 75`

Explanation:

Given

Corresponding sides: 4cm and 3m

Required

Determine the enlargement factor

This is calculated as:

`k = (New)/(Old)`

So:

`k = (3m)/(4cm)`

Convert to cm

`k = (3*100cm)/(4cm)`

`k = (300cm)/(4cm)`

`k = (300)/(4)`

`k = 75`
