If ABC is Similar to DEF, and AB =16, DF =3, AC=12, what is length of DE?

Answer 1

In a similar triangle, the corresponding sides are proportional.

Let x be the length of DE.

Using the similarity of the triangles ABC and DEF, we can set up the proportion:

AB/DE = AC/DF

Substituting the given values:

16/x = 12/3

Cross-multiplying:

12x = 3 * 16

12x = 48

Dividing both sides by 12:

x = 48/12

x = 4

Therefore, the length of DE is 4.
