Answer :

Problem 1

Answer: DF = 2.68

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

The scale factor is DE/AB = 1.34/2 = 0.67

This means DE is 67% of the length of AB

Or you could say that DE = 0.67*AB

This means that

DF = 0.67*AC

DF = 0.67*4

DF = 2.68

Side note: AC and DF are the first and last letters of ABC and DEF respectively. This is why AC and DF correspond together.

===========================================================

Problem 2

Answer: EF = 2.01

-----------------------------------

Explanation:

We'll use the same scale factor to find EF

new side = (scale factor)*(old side)

EF = 0.67*BC

EF = 0.67*3

EF = 2.01

Side note: BC and EF are the last two letters of ABC and DEF respectively, so BC corresponds to EF.
