OpenStudy (anonymous):

two similar triangles have their sides in a fixed ratio. are you familiar with this property?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one i s tht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Q16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let triangle PQR be similar to triangle ABC. then PQ/AB=QR/BC=PR/AC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this tells us that, AB/AC= PQ/PR. the ratio AB/AC= 5/4 from the given figure. thus the correct option will have the same ratio of height/ base.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the same logic would apply to Q17. to keep both the photos similar, height/length = height'/ length'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer for 16 is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

height = 3 inches, length = 5 inches, length' = 7.5 inches. Plug into the equation above and solve for height'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok it 4.5 inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for number 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and wat is the answer for 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

none of the options seem to match for Q16, what are the chances of it having an error?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for Q16, option has the ratio as 5/6, for option b it is 15/4, for option c it is 4/3. while according to the given figure it should be 5/4. so none of the options have correct ratio here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk no then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should we move onto Q18?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so one else need help 16 and 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the cereal box, you'd have 3 rectangles one from the top, one from the side and one from the front.|dw:1388898750959:dw|
