Consider the two given triangles.

Two triangles displayed on a grid. The smaller triangle on the left has vertices labeled A, B, and C, with vertex C serving as the apex of triangle ABC, and vertices A and B located on the base. Vertex A is 4 units to the left of vertex B. Vertex C is 3 units above the base AB. The larger triangle on the right has vertices labeled D, E, and F, with vertex F as the apex of triangle DEF, and vertices D and E positioned on the base. Vertex D is 8 units to the left of vertex E. Vertex F is 6 units above base DE Triangle DEF is an enlarged version of triangle ABC.
