Question

find scale factor of TRE to NME if: NME~TRE EN=10 ,EM=8, AND ET=40

Answer 1

Of the three sides you are given, can you find a corresponding pair of sides?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

it just gives the number

Answer 4

The scale factor is 4 to 1

Answer 5

The order in which two similar triangles are named tells you which sides correspond to each other.

Answer 6

For example, if you are told that
triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF,
then you can conclude that
Sides AB and DE are corresponding
Sides BC and EF are corresponding
Sides AC and DF are corresponding

Answer 7

can you tell me how to solve this so i can do the rest on my own

Answer 8

and ok

Answer 9

In your case you are given that
triangles NME and TRE are similar
That means these pairs of sides are corresponding:
NM and TR
ME and RE
NE and TE

Answer 10

Now look at the given info and see if it gives the lengths of two corresponding sides.

Answer 11

NME ~ TRE

Answer 12

NM and TR -----> no info
ME and RE -----> 8 and RE
NE and TE -----> 10 and 40

The third pair of corresponding sides has measures for both sides.
The lengths are 10 and 40
The scale factor is the second one divided by the first one, or

\(\dfrac{40}{10} = 4\)

Answer 13

Answer is: The scale factor is 4.

Answer 14

OOO OK SO IMMA DO THE NEXT ONE AND TELL ME IF ITS RIGHT...
