the two triangles illustrated below are similar what are the values of x and y?

a x=1.34 y=110 degrees

b x=40 y=55 degrees

c x=48 y= 110 degrees

d x=40 y=110

okay... this is basically a ratio problem....there can be more than one way to set up the ratio... so...x = (30 x 8)/6

anonymous · Answer

ok so the answer is d right

anonymous · Answer

wait! u know that x is 40! but i am trying to figure out the angle...at this point, it can be either b or d!

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

hmm...i am not really sure how to find the angle! may be @nphuongsun93 can come to our rescue?!

anonymous · Answer

well...i think its d too...since the angles of similar triangles are the same i think...

thank you it was right @cfraser007
