Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF. Side AB measures 12 cm and is the longest side of ABC. Side DE measures 8 cm and is the longest side of DEF. a)Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF with what scale factor?

b)Triangle DEF is a scaled copy of triangle ABC with what scale factor?

a) 3/2 or 1.5

b) 2/3 or ≈.66

Step-by-step explanation:

AB corresponds to DE because they are both the longest sides of their respective triangles.

a) The scale factor would be what you would multiply 8 by to get 12. 12/8 is 3/2 or 1.5

b) The scale factor would be what you multiply 12 by to get 8. 8/12 is 2/3 or ≈.66

step-by-step explanation:

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
