If track DEF is similar in shape to track BAC, how many meters, rounded to the nearest tenth, would Kaitlyn run in one lap on track BAC? Type the numeric answer only in the box below.

@ganeshie8 Can You Help With This One Two Please?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
DEF ~ BAC
DE and BA are corresponding parts, eh ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
look at the pic,
DE = 11
BA = 22

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay.

that means, tracks on BAC are twice as long as tracks on DEF
