The two triangles below are similar. What is the similarity ratio of ∆ABC to ∆DEF?
A) 3:1
B) 1:3
C) 2:1
D) 1:2

Answer:
Option C is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The two triangles are similar if there sides are proportional to each other
So, In Triangle ABC and Triangle DEF
AB/DE=BC/EF=AC/FD
according to definition of similar triangles.
We are given AC = 8
and FD = 4
So, AC/FD = 8/4 = 2/1
or 2:1
So, Option C is correct
Answer: Option C
2:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Two triangles are similar if the ratio of their sides is proportional.
In this case we have the triangle ∆ABC and ∆DEF so for the sides of the triangles they are proportional it must be fulfilled that:
[tex]\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{AC}{DF}[/tex]
In this case we know that:
[tex]AC=8[/tex]
[tex]DF=4[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]\frac{AC}{DF} = \frac{8}{4}\\\\\frac{AC}{DF} = \frac{2}{1}[/tex]
The similarity ratio of ∆ABC to ∆DEF is 2:1
