You're kidding, right?

anonymous · Answer

Lol is it that easy? I dont undersand the problem

mertsj · Answer

dimensions of triangle RAH are twice as large as the corresponding dimensions of triangle EAC

anonymous · Answer

well i tried the problem and came up with an answer of C

mertsj · Answer

How can you answer "C" to the question, "Calculate the length of side RA"?

anonymous · Answer

sorry didnt give u the multiple choice:

A. RA=7;AH=12;AA
B. RA=7;AH=12;SAS
C. RA=1.75;AH=3;SAS
D. RA=1.75;AH=3;SAS

for my answer actually I got A as my answer, would that be correct?

mertsj · Answer

So what does it mean when it says that the dimensions of triangle RAH are twice as large as the corresponding dimensions of triangle EAC?

anonymous · Answer

the angles

mertsj · Answer

Good.  We have now identified the problem.

anonymous · Answer

so it would be A right:)?

mertsj · Answer

Now you are guessing.

anonymous · Answer

lol no it just makes sense, because we are using 2 angles, unless were using 2 angles and one side
