Question

Yukio says the scale from DEF to ABC is 3:1. Is Yukio Correct? Explain

Answer 1

Answer: Yes, Yukio is correct.

Explanation:

Assuming that Triangle DEF and ABC have the same angles (they do because they are right-angled), we can take the length from the larger triangle (DEF) and divide it by the length of the smaller triangle (ABC).

Length of DEF = 6cm

Length of ABC = 2cm

= 6/2

= 3

Proves that scale of DEF to ABC is 3:1
