Since △ABC is similar to △DEF, the corresponding sides of the triangles are proportional.
Therefore, we can set up a proportion:
BC/EF = AB/DE
Substituting the given values:
36/3 = AB/6
Simplifying the proportion:
12 = AB/6
Multiplying both sides by 6:
AB = 12 * 6
AB = 72
Therefore, the measure of AB is 72 units.
Therefore, we can set up a proportion:
BC/EF = AB/DE
Substituting the given values:
36/3 = AB/6
Simplifying the proportion:
12 = AB/6
Multiplying both sides by 6:
AB = 12 * 6
AB = 72
Therefore, the measure of AB is 72 units.
