um,how do i find the length of an corresponding altitude?
got a drawing for proper context?
idk what u mean, but is just a simple question from cp geometry and i was paying attention and just need exlaination
i wasn't paying attention
Do u have a picture or a problem relating this this topic?
not so simple if needed details are missing.
If 2 triangles are similar, the lengths of corresponding ALTITUDES have the same ratio as the lengths of any 2 corresponding sides.
triangle NPQ and RST are similar, the side lengths of NPQ are 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, and the leng of an altitude is 4.8. the short side of RST is 8 inch long. find the length of the correspending altitude in RST
U can write a proportion, since they r similar. 6/4.8 = 8/x
thx xd, i feel dumb :P
