The figure shows three right triangles. Triangles PQS, QRS, and PRQ are similar. Theorem: If two triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion.Using the given theorem, which two statements help to prove that if segment PR is x, then x2 = 97? Segment PR × segment PS = 16 Segment PR × segment SR = 36 Segment PR × segment PS = 36 Segment PR × segment SR = 81 Segment PR × segment PS = 16 Segment PR × segment SR = 81 Segment PR × segment PS = 81 Segment PR × segment SR = 16

tips?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tips?

mathslover (mathslover):

wait please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

mathslover (mathslover):

@luisz i will prefer u this: http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/4fb3cbf5e4b05565342995e6 hope this helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help explain that information to me?

mathslover (mathslover):

i think @experimentX may help u .. sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you explain this to me, expert?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

what do you have to to??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to see if one of the statements are correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are four choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

each with 2 statements

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to say that one of them is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so tips?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

Find PR first ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking of PS...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PR is the square root of 97

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In order to find PS....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we need to set up proportions, right?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

okay let PS be x, then SR = sqrt(97) - x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow

OpenStudy (experimentx):

find two pairs of equal angles ... and set up the ratios of their sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two pairs of equal angles...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you give me a hint?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x squared/4=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You guys, there?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

PS/PQ = PQ/PR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

however
