In the diagram, â–łABC ~ â–łDEF. What is AC?
The image is of two similar right triangles ABC and DEF with right angles at B and E respectively. First one smaller in size and its base is 3. Base, altitude and hypotenuse of second one are 6, 8 and 10 respectively.

A. 4
B. 7.5
C. 5
D. 3

Respuesta :

Answer:5

Step-by-step explanation: If you look at the base of both triangles, you'll notice that the smaller one has a base of 3, and the bigger one has a base of 6. The smaller triangle is half of the big one, therefore we can safely say that the hypothenuse of the smaller triangle is half of that of the larger one. Half of 10 is 5.
