Answer:
[tex]\frac{AB}{A"B"}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]k = 2[/tex] --- scale factor
Required
Relationship between ABC and A"B"C"
[tex]k = 2[/tex] implies that the sides of A"B"C" are bigger than ABC
i.e.
[tex]A"B" = 2AB[/tex]
[tex]A"C" = 2AC[/tex]
[tex]B"C" = 2BC[/tex]
In [tex]A"B" = 2AB[/tex]
Divide both sides by A"B"
[tex]1 = \frac{2AB}{A"B"}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{AB}{A"B"}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\frac{AB}{A"B"}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
(a) is correct
