@AriPotta

OpenStudy (aripotta):

use two corresponding sides that don't have a variable. the only corresponding sides we could use is 4 and 6. and the corresponding side to y is 20. so... 4/6 = y/20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you do after that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you cross multiply and solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x20=80 and 6x y= 6y now what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AriPotta did i do it right?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so 80 = 6y...how would you solve for y...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

over 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):
