Question

multiple choice 1 point
triangle def is a scaled - copy of triangle abc.
which segment corresponds with segment bc?
segment ef
segment ab
segment ac
segment de
segment df

Explanation:

Step1: Identify corresponding sides in scaled - copies

In similar (scaled - copy) triangles, corresponding vertices are in the same relative position. If $\triangle DEF$ is a scaled copy of $\triangle ABC$, then the side opposite the same - named angles are corresponding. Angle $B$ in $\triangle ABC$ corresponds to angle $E$ in $\triangle DEF$, and angle $C$ in $\triangle ABC$ corresponds to angle $F$ in $\triangle DEF$.

Step2: Determine the corresponding segment

The segment connecting the vertices $E$ and $F$ (segment $EF$) corresponds to the segment connecting vertices $B$ and $C$ (segment $BC$).

Answer:

A. Segment EF
