Question

Given ABC~XYZ calculate the value of XY and AC. Round to the nearest tenth
(Points : 2)
XY = 3.5, AC = 11
XY = 11, AC = 5.3
XY = 3.5, AC = 0.08
XY = 5.3, AC = 11

Answer 7

Those are similar triangles according to the problem statement. That means that the corresponding sides are in the same proportion. Do we have any side of the two triangles where we know the length on both triangles?

Answer 8

@whpalmer4 IDK

Answer 9

Well, look at them :-)

Answer 10

The triangles are oriented in the same way, so the corresponding sides are in the same places. Do you know the length of the hypotenuse of both triangles? Do you know the length of the right hand side of both triangles? Do you know the length of the base of both triangles?

Answer 11

:P

Answer 12

one is a small triangle and one is a big triangle

Answer 14

Which sides are labeled with a length?

Answer 15

@zepdrix

Answer 16

both

Answer 17

Triangles have 3 sides. The triangle on the left has sides AC, AB, and BC. The triangle on the right has sides XZ, XY, and YZ. AC corresponds to XZ. AB corresponds to XY. BC corresponds to YZ. For any of those pairs, do you see a number next to that side on both triangles?

Answer 18

@whpalmer4 no i dontt

Answer 19

Keep looking until you do. Look at BC and YZ. Figure out the ratio. The other sides will be in the same ratio.

Answer 20

Good luck, I have to leave.

Answer 21

9 and 4.5

Answer 22

@zepdrix can u keep helping me?

Answer 23

Okay, so the side on the big triangle is 9/4.5 = 2 times the side on the small triangle. Now use that ratio to find the missing sides.

Answer 24

5.5 and 4.5

Answer 25

Mmm...no.

The side on the big triangle is 2* the side on the small triangle. AB (bottom of the big triangle) is 7. If 7 is 2* XY, what is the length of XY?

The hypotenuse on the big triangle is 2* the hypotenuse on the small triangle. XZ (hypotenuse of small triangle) is 5.5. What does that make AC?
