If POR ~ ASTU, what is the scale factor of APQR to ASTU?
A. 1/5
B. 1/4
C. 5
D. 4

Answer:
[tex]k = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The attached triangles
Required
The scale factor
From the attachment, we have:
[tex]TU = 4[/tex]
[tex]QR = 20[/tex]
So, the scale factor from PQR to STU is:
[tex]k = \frac{TU}{QR}[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{4}{20}[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
