Question
If $\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{DEF}$ such that 2AB = DE and BC = 6cm, find EF.
✓

Answer

Given $\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{DEF}$ and 2AB = DE and BC = 6cm
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{\text{EF}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{EF}=3\text{cm}$
