5:25=?
3:15=?

Answer 2

0.2
0.2

Answer 3

5/25 is not 0.2

Answer 4

@Directrix

Answer 5

Odd that the triangles are not given to be similar although that can be proved later in the course.

Answer 6

Tri ABC ~
Tri UVW

So watch the correspondence of vertices.

Because that tells you which sides are corresponding.

AB/UV = BC/VW = AC/UW


Look at all that and the given side lengths and see if you can get the scale factor.

Answer 7

IT'S a?

Answer 8

Yes, and that is what these ratios simplify to:

5:25=?

3:15=?

Answer 9

We're doing the scale factor from the smaller triangle to the larger.

So, expect the scale factor to be LESS than 1.
