Question

please help? i dont get how 2 do this...:/

Answer 1

exactly similiar to previous question!

Answer 2

By similar it means they have the same angle and shape, just different lengths.

Answer 3

yep sides will be proportional use that

Answer 4

but how do i find x and y??

Answer 5

You know that the ratio of 9:6 = 1.5. So, just multiply the smaller sides by 1.5, or divide the larger ones by 1.5 to get the variables.

Answer 6

can u please show me how?

Answer 7

Okay, so you see how, 9/6 = 1.5? That's your scale factor, okay?

Answer 8

okay

Answer 9

Now, whats 3.5*1.5? (since you want Z, which is bigger than 3.5, just scaled)

So 3.5*1.5 = Z

Answer 10

Then, for Y, you see how you know that the smaller side similar to y is 6? Then multiply 6*1.5 to get Y.

But, since for X you need the smaller side, you divide, so 12/1.5 = X

Answer 11

Get it kiddo?

Answer 12

Answer 13
