The two triangles below are similar. What is the similarity ratio of ΔABC to ΔDEF? Triangle ABC is shown with AC measuring 4 and BC measuring 5. Triangle DEF is shown with side DF measuring 2. 2:1 1:2 2:5 5:2

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:


Option A is correct.

2 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:


Similar triangle:


Two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are in proportion or side are of equal length.


As per the statement
:


Given: ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar triangle.

Triangle ABC is shown with AC measuring 4 and BC measuring 5.


Triangle DEF is shown with side DF measuring 2.


Then by definition of similar triangles:


\frac{AB}{DE} = \frac{BC}{EF} = \frac{AC}{DF}


Substitute the given value we have;

\frac{AC}{DF} = \frac{4}{2} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 : 1

therefore, the similarity ratio of ΔABC to ΔDEF is, 2 : 1
