Transcript text: le factor that makes the ratios of the corresponding sides
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify corresponding sides
The corresponding sides are:
D'E' and DE
D'F' and DF
E'G' and EG
F'G' and FG
Step 2: Set up the ratios
The ratios of corresponding sides are:
D'E'/DE = x/15
D'F'/DF = 8/5
E'G'/EG = 8/5
F'G'/FG = 8/5
Step 3: Solve for x
Since the ratios of corresponding sides must be equal, we can set up the following proportion:
x/15 = 8/5
Cross-multiply:
5x = 15 * 8
5x = 120
x = 120/5
x = 24
Final Answer:
The scale factor is 24/15 which simplifies to 8/5 or 1.6.
