Triangle ABC is similar to Triangle RST and the scale factor of Triangle ABC to Triangle RST is 3.
how do i find the lengths of segments RS, ST, and RT?
Segment AB is 18, segment BC is 15, and segment AC is 9.
can anyone help me, please?

Scale factor given indicates that ABC's sides are 3X of RST's sides so your answers are
18/3 = 6 for RS
15/3 = 5 for ST
9/3 = 3 for RT

Just multiply by the scale factor: RS = 3*AB = 54, ST = 3*BC = 45, RT = 3*9 = 27.

from ABC to RST is 3, right? that means that going from ABC to RST, you up the size by triple. therefore, RST is 3 times larger than ABC, so all you have to do is multiply each side of ABC by 3

RS=1/3AB=6
ST=1/3BC=5
RT=1/3AC=3

you need a trig function book to solve this one
