      Question

      ΔEFG and ΔHIJ are similar. Also, ∠E = ∠H and ∠F

      = ∠I. If 3EF = HI and FG = 9 cm, then IJ is equal to ____.
      A 9 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 27 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Given ΔEFG ~ ΔHIJ, with ∠E = ∠H and ∠F = ∠I, the triangles are similar with corresponding sides. 3EF = HI ⇒ HI = 3 × EF FG = 9 cm, and FG corresponds to IJ. Since the scale factor is 1:3, IJ = 3 × FG = 3 × 9 = 27 cm.
