Use similarity transformations to decide similarity and explain angle equality and side proportionality in triangles.

Find the scale factor between similar triangles from a pair of corresponding sides

Problem

Triangle \(LMN\) is similar to triangle \(RST\), and side \(LN\) corresponds to side \(RT\). If \(LN~=~18\) and \(RT~=~24\), what is the scale factor from triangle \(LMN\) to triangle \(RST\)?
