anonymous · Answer

i honestly did not. I was going to say, A better question would be, what do you think it is first?

anonymous · Answer

I'm confused. lol

anonymous · Answer

okay. well do do you know how to do this type of problem?

anonymous · Answer

No, that's why I'm asking it.

@love_jessika15 well think of the question in this way two triangles are similiar means one is the magnified version of the other. ie the sides will be proportional

anonymous · Answer

Yea, but they're different sizes.

anonymous · Answer

yes but they are proportional so they have to be simular. say if you has a triangle like thisABC, which is simular to triangle XYZ....if <AB is 2 and <XY is 6.....then you have <BCwhich is 3....what is <YZ?

anonymous · Answer

would it be 
6
7
2
5
