2.which side in AFED does CB in AABC correspond to?
3.which side in AFED does AC in AABC correspond to?
4.what scale factor was used in the dilation of AABC to AFED?explain how you found the scale factor.
5.what is the length of side DE?show how you found this length.
6.use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of side FD.show your work

Answer 1

Rotate one of them so the right angle is in the same orientation as the other one.

1. AB = DE

2. CB = FE

3. AC = DF

4. Compare the length of two known sides: cb and EF

CB = 3 and EF = 8

8/3 = 2 2/3 scale factor

5. Ab is side de. Multiply the length of ab by the scale factor:

4 x 2 2/3 = 10 2/3

6. FD = sqrt ( 10 2/3^2 + 8^2)

FD = 13 1/3
