Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF. Side AB measures 12 cm and is the longest side of ABC. Side DE measures 8 cam and is the longest side of DEF. Triangle ABC is a scaled copy of triangle DEF with what scale factor?

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.

answer: i think it is c
