Question

The two triangles below are similar. Find the missing length.
A) x=40
B) x=24
C) x=30
D) x=32

Answer 1

Each length in the smaller triangle are multiplied by 1.5 to get the lengths of the larger triangle, so do 24*1.5 to get x. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

24 x 1.5 = 36 but that isn't one of the choices...

Answer 3

oh wait I am stupid :( the lengths are actually multiplied by 1 1/3.

Answer 4

so find 24+24/3

Answer 5

That would be 32! :-)

Answer 6

yes.
