can view pic, dun have a login. pls screenshot.
similar triangles can contain dilations, analyze the sides and correlate to the other triangle. \(\bf{CB=DE}\) \(\bf{BA=EF}\) \(\bf{DF=CA}\) Now `BC` has a distance of 4 units, `DE` has 2. This means it has a dilation factor of 2. This needs to apply for Sides `DE and BA`. `BA` has a distance of 8 units, `BA` has a distance of 2 units. Does it follow by the scale factor?
yes
remember that the scale factor is 2. Does \(\bf{8 \div 2 = 2?}\)
oh i'm sorry no it's 4
correct, so it is not similar.
Awesome sauce
