If triangle ABC Is similar to DEF and BC =36, EF=6, what is the measure of AB.
The image shows triangle ABC upscaled as CB is 36 while AB is X, DE is 6 and FE is 3
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try again.
If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, it means that their corresponding sides are in proportion.
Let's call the measure of AB as x.
According to the given information, BC = 36, EF = 6, and DE = 3.
To find the length of AB, we can set up a proportion:
AB/BC = DE/EF
Substituting the given values:
x/36 = 3/6
Simplifying the proportion:
x/36 = 1/2
Cross-multiplying:
2x = 36
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 18
Based on the given information and the proportion, the measure of AB is indeed 18 units.

According to the given information, BC = 36, EF = 6, and DE = 3.
To find the length of AB, we can set up a proportion:
BC/EF = AB/DE
Substituting the given values:
36/6 = x/3
Cross-multiplying:
6x = 108
Dividing both sides by 6:
x = 18
Therefore, the measure of AB is 18 units.
You sure?
