This is very confusing. view picture

Side XZ corresponds to side AC, the ratio is 18:12.

To find the scale factor, divide 18 by 12.

18 ÷ 12 = 1.5

Multiply the length of side BC by 1.5 and it should equal the length of side YX, 15. This is how you know 1.5 is the scale factor.

10 × 1.5 = 15

Divide 12, the length of XY, by 1.5 to find the length of AB.

12 ÷ 1.5 = 8.

Side AB's length is 8.

Hope this helps :)

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
