College Board ? of the Day

Read the following SAT test question, then click on a button to select your answer.


MATH GRAPHIC



In the figure above, triangleABC is similar to triangleDEF. What is the length of the side line over DF?




  1. 4

  2. 21 over 5

  3. 9 over 2

  4. 5

  5. 51 over 10




Hint
The triangles are similar, so their corresponding sides are proportional. That is, there exists a positive number n such that n(AB) = DE, n(AC) = DF, and n(BC) = EF.
