ΔABC is similar to ΔDEF . Find the ratio between ΔDEF and ΔABC . Express the answer as a fraction in simplest form.
The ratio between two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of their corresponding side lengths.
Therefore, the ratio between ΔDEF and ΔABC is equal to the ratio of their corresponding side lengths.
Let's represent the corresponding side lengths of ΔDEF and ΔABC as a : b : c and d : e : f, respectively. Then, the ratio between ΔDEF and ΔABC is (a : b : c) / (d : e : f).
The answer cannot be simplified further without additional information.
If ΔABC is similar to ΔDEF , and AB= 16, DF= 3, and AC= 12, what is the length of DE ?
