Answer:
the length of DF = 3/4 AC
see below for explanation
Explanation:
ABC is said to be approximately equal to DEF
The scale factor from ABC to DEF = 3/4
From the question, we can tell the original and new shape is a triangle because the lettering to indicate the vertices for both are 3.
We can deduce from the question, ΔABC was dilated to form ΔDEF
In dilation, the length of each of the corresponding side of the new figure is equal to the multiplication of each of the corresponding sides of the old figure and thee scale factor.
In the absence of cordinates for each vertices and length of each sides, ΔABC has 3 sides :
AB, BC and AC
ΔDEF has 3 sides : DE, EF and DF
If AB corresponds to DE
BC corresponds to EF
AC corresponds to DF
Then:
length DE = scale factor × AB = 3/4 AB
length EF = scale factor × BC = 3/4 BC
length DF = scale factor × AC = 3/4 AC
Therefore, the length of DF = 3/4 AC
