Are the following triangles similar? if so, state the reason and the scale factor: Triangle ABC is a right triangle: it's legs are 6cm and 8 cm. Triangle DEF is a right triangle: It's legs are 18cm and 24cm.

What is Yes. By SAS, since the right angle is between the two legs and the legs of the triangles have a scale factor of 3.
