Answer:

Scale Factor


k=5

Side Congruency

AL ≅ TD

TK ≅ AH

DK ≅ LH

Angle Congruency

∠A ≅ ∠T

∠D ≅ ∠L

∠H ≅ ∠K or ∠K ≅ ∠H

Explanation:

Scale Factor

First, to determine the scale factor, I will choose two corresponding segments: AL and TD.

By counting on the graph, I can see that they are the following lengths:


TD=15\\AL=3

Therefore the ratio of the large triangle to the small triangle is 15:3. Written as a fraction and simplified, this is:


(15)/(3)=5

5 is the scale factor, or k.

Congruency

Each segment on the small triangle corresponds to the same side on the large triangle. Therefore:

AL ≅ TD

TK ≅ AH

DK ≅ LH

The same goes for the angles, except the angles are actually equal as well:

∠A ≅ ∠T

∠D ≅ ∠L

The bottom of your image is cut off, but I assume the question is one of these:

∠H ≅ ∠K

∠K ≅ ∠H
