In ABC, AB = x, BC = y, and CA = 2x. A similarity transformation with a scale factor of 0.5 maps ABC to MNO, such that vertices M, N, and O correspond to A, B, and C, respectively. If OM = 5, what is AB?

Question

In  ABC, AB = x, BC = y, and CA = 2x. A similarity transformation with a scale factor of 0.5 maps  ABC to  MNO, such that vertices M, N, and O correspond to A, B, and C, respectively. If OM = 5, what is AB?

Using a 0.5 maps scale factor*********

Ok so basically is is saying

AB=x
BC=y
CA=2x

ABC directly corresponds to MNO So that means

MN=x
NO=y
CA=2x

The question is "if OM=5 then what does AB eual?"
