Question

Can anyone help me with figuring out number 9? I had to upload it here because I couldnt find another way of showing the problem. Geometry Help. http://prntscr.com/2mv8jo

Answer 1

m=6
n=4.5

Answer 2

Keiichi, how did you get those answers?

Answer 3

3/2 = m/4=n/3

3/2= 1.5
6/4= 1.5
4.5/3= 1.5

there are other ways you can solve this, but this is the easiest.

Answer 4

That really didnt help me to be honest. What do you mean by 3/2 = m/4 = n/2

Answer 5

?*

Answer 6

ugh sorry, have you learned the side-splitter theorem yet?

Answer 7

No. But I figured out how you got 6 for M. Im going to try and find N and see if youre correct.

Answer 8

Yeah. I got 4.5 for N also.

Answer 9

How would i do 10?

Answer 10

this was my work for problem 9
can you take a better picture for number 10, please?

Answer 11

Yeah. Hold on one sec.

Answer 12

Can you see that one?

Answer 13

i hope this help?? tell me if you have any problem reading the handwriting

Answer 14

I can see that you use a different method than what I am learning. i am guessing that is a more advanced/easier way of doing this type of mathematical problem in geometry?

Answer 15

But I still need some help.

Answer 16

alright, but im also doing work of my own so my replies might be a bit slow. ;;

Answer 17

I need help with these 3 if you could please help me. And its fine if you take some time to reply.

Answer 18

Im patient lol.

Answer 19

i'll do my best. ^o^

Answer 20

Yeah. I have no idea what to do for 10. Lol.

Answer 21

I mean 11*

Answer 22

#11

Answer 23

Thats number 10 lol

Answer 24

oops

Answer 25

sorry

Answer 26

12 is confusing.

Answer 27

it's the same actually

Answer 28

13 is something else. I dont think Ive learned that yet to be honest.

Answer 29

i've never seen this type problem while learning the side-splitter theorem...

Answer 30

Lol. I guess I wont do it. I dont even know what the side-splitter theorem is either.

Answer 31

But do you know how to do these type of problems? These seem easier but I dont understand that much.

Answer 32

33/22=h/12

22*h=396
/22 /22

h=18

Answer 33

Is that the side splitter theorem?

Answer 34

It's somewhat similiar. this is the side-splitter theorem http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/similar/triangles/side-splitter-theorem.php

Answer 35

Could you break down how you got the answer for number one for me? Because in text, its not as easy to keep up. Like these, I dont get how to do for some reason. The other ones were easier and i checked them the way I would usually do it myself.

Answer 36

alright.

33 and 22 are the corresponding sides of the 2 triangles so lets put it as a fraction. 33/22 (it's easier if you write it on paper)


h and 12 are the corresponding altitudes of the triangles so lets put it as h/12

h and 33 are the numerators because they belong to the same triangle.

Answer 37

now you should have something like this

33 = h
22 12

Answer 38

cross multiply and solve for h

Answer 39

Just curious, are you taking honor geometry?

Answer 40

Yes. But the thing about that is I recently transferred schools due to the fact that my old school had a terrible Geometry honors teacher that would speak about his personal life and would never teach. So I transferred schools mid way through the year and im kind of lost but I am trying my best to keep up with my new teacher. Ive picked up a couple of things so far but not all the things I should know. Im great at math btw but its just that Im a little bit confused.

Answer 41

I understand, i left the country the last few weeks and it's been tough trying to catch up.

Answer 42

Ugh. Yeah man. Its kind of tough on me because I got to start over and make new friends and stuff because in my old school I was so confined with the same people for about 5 years or so because I went to the same school for middle school and part of high school.

Answer 43

But Ive been trying my best to keep up.

Answer 44

Could you help me out with this one? And thanks for being so patient with me lol. I havent been on this website in 2 years or so.

Answer 45

alright, you might want to write this down. this is easier than the last one

Answer 46

Wouldnt it be easier just to send a picture? But if you want to write it down then sure.

Answer 47

or type it I mean.

Answer 48

(triangle ski is the denominator)

Answer 49

i was gonna do that but I literally wasnt so sure.

Answer 50

It's worth trying, you can always fix it if it's wrong. ( ´ ▽ ` )

Answer 51

I know lol. This one i dont get. Im thinking CS but Im just guessing. I havent really tried.

Answer 52

it is CS there's really not an explanation for this but PI is cut in half

Answer 53

Lol. What the heck. I thought I was almost done but I have 11 more questions to go. FML.

Answer 54

SI one of the half, is cut in half so seeing that CS and CL share the same point (c) and is located on the halves of SI. It should be congruent to CS.

Answer 55

Yeah. That one seemed easy.

Answer 56

Oh my god. If this isnt too much to ask for, can you please help me out? Im so lost. I gotta talk with my teacher about this because Ive never had so much problem with something before.

Answer 57

I'll try

Answer 58

Yeeahh. Im lost. Lol.

Answer 59

for LEG it's 364 btw

Answer 60

So for 4 FD=15?

Answer 61

yes

Answer 62

Alright.

Answer 63

Im so close to finishing.

Answer 64

that's good

Answer 65

These seem a little bit easier but help me out. Im gonna try and do what I can and see if i get it right.

Answer 66

Im thinking for 9 x=5 but not so sure.

Answer 67

Yeah. I dont know how to do this.

Answer 68

it's 16

Answer 69

20 = v
45 36

Answer 70

45v = 720

Answer 71

v = 16

Answer 72

Would you do the same for 8?
Like 51/34=y/40?

Answer 73

yes

Answer 74

Would y be 60?

Answer 75

And help me out with 9. I dont know how to do that one.

Answer 76

yes, y would be 60 for 8

Answer 77

Okay. I got that right.

Answer 78

you're dealing with a whole triangle and a half triangle in 9

Answer 79

so 5?

Answer 80

15/12 and 10/x would work

Answer 81

15x = 120
x=8

Answer 82

Yeah I got that right now. lol

Answer 83

I need like 5 more and im done bothering you

Answer 84

Idk how to do 10 because it has no numbers.

Answer 85

K has square root and idk

Answer 86

11* not k

Answer 87

a/b= p/q bc a p shares the same triangle and b q shares the other

Answer 88

so a/p = b/q

Answer 89

k = 3 √3

Answer 90

So the answer for 11 is k=3 sqrt 3?
