Practice analyzing similar triangles.
Triangle E F G. Side E F is 6 meters, F G is 5 meters, E G is 7 meters. Triangle K L J. Side K L is 28 meters, L J is 24 meters, J K is 20 meters.

Mai enlarges a triangular sign by a multiple of 4 creating similar triangles. The bottom of the original sign is side EG. Which side of the enlarged sign corresponds to side EG?

If she wanted to turn the sign so that side JK was on the bottom, what side of the original sign would this correspond to?

Scale factor = 4. EG = 7 → 7·4 = 28, so EG corresponds to KL (28 m) on the enlarged sign.

JK = 20 → 20 ÷ 4 = 5, so JK would correspond to FG (5 m) on the original sign.
