It's a similar triangle so the ratios of corresponding sides should be equal which means
BC/EF = AB/DE
21/14 = AB/10
AB = 21/14 * 10 = 15 cm
So we have to fine the dialation first. so BC and EF are similar because those are the two corresponding lines. divide 21 and 14. the dialation is 1.5 AB corresponds with DE so multiply 10 by 1.5. so AB is 15 the other answer is incorrect hope this helped you have a good day!!!
I think the length is 26
15 got 100% on test..
