PQ = 10 yds, OS = 34 yds and ON = 30 yds. Find PR.

34/3 yds if i not wrong...

Two triangles are in ratio, right?

OpenStudy (sumeet):

by law of similar triangles, corresponding sides of similar triangles have same ratio. \[pq / on = pr /os\]

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

ok what is the law of similar triangles?

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

BTW this is multiple choice 11.33 yds 17.83 yds 102 yds 98.81 yds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11.33 yds according to similar triangles

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

ah ok but i dont really get the law of similar triangle concept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first similar triangles only occur when the triangles have same angles

OpenStudy (sumeet):

true money bird, but if they won't be similar triangles there are infinite possibilities..

OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

ugh this is why i hate triangles -.- thanks everyone

34 ---- 30 x -----10 ------------- x=340/30 =34/3 =11,3 so PR=11,3 yds
