Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the similarity ratio between ΔGHF \Delta GH F and ΔABC \Delta ABC . Since both triangles are equilateral:

  • The side length of ΔABC \Delta ABC is 18 18 , and the side length of ΔGHF \Delta GH F is 2 2 .
  • The similarity ratio side of ΔABCside of ΔGHF \frac{\text{side of } \Delta ABC}{\text{side of } \Delta GHF} is:
  • \item 182=9. \frac{18}{2} = 9.

Therefore, the similarity ratio between triangles ΔGHF \Delta GHF and ΔABC \Delta ABC is 9 9 . The correct choice is:

ABGF=ACFH=9 \frac{AB}{GF}=\frac{AC}{FH}=9 .

Final Answer

ABGF=ACFH=9 \frac{AB}{GF}=\frac{AC}{FH}=9
