Similarity and Angle Relationships

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, with vertices corresponding
in that order ( $A \leftrightarrow D$ , $B \leftrightarrow E$ ,
$C \leftrightarrow F$ ). Side $AB = 6$ corresponds to side $DE = 9$ .
Side $BC = 8$ corresponds to side $EF$ . Using the scale factor, find
the length of side $EF$ . Enter a number.
