how do you find the scale factor

Divide the length of DF by the length of AC Note: these two sides correspond to each other

i got 3 my quiz said it was wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm maybe they were going the total opposite direction

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and started with DEF and went to ABC

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if so, then it's AC/DF = 3/9 = 1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
