Answer:
The scale factor is 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\triangle DE F[/tex] and [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex]
Required
The scale factor from [tex]\triangle DE F[/tex] to [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex]
Take a corresponding side in both triangles.
We have:
[tex]DE= 20[/tex] [tex]AB = 10[/tex]
The scale factor from [tex]\triangle DE F[/tex] to [tex]\triangle ABC[/tex] is:
[tex]k =\frac{AB}{DE}[/tex]
[tex]k =\frac{10}{20}[/tex]
[tex]k =\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
