@Mertsj Could you maybe help some? I really need to figure this out.

Answer 2

The ratios of the corresponding sides are equal.

Answer 3

Uh-- Okay?

Answer 4

How do I go about it from that?

Answer 5

Write the ratios, put an equal sign between them and solve the proportion.

Answer 6

I don't know how to do that, but thank you.

Answer 7

Do you know what a ratio is?

Answer 8

Yeah, I think.

Answer 9

Do you know what corresponding sides are?

Answer 10

Is it like..They're the same thing?

Answer 11

It means they occupy corresponding positions in the two triangles.

Answer 12

In your picture x corresponds to 11.2 so the ratio is x over 11.2

Answer 13

Okay..

Answer 14

Then write the ratio of the other two corresponding sides. What is it?

Answer 15

5.4:6.3?

Answer 16

put an equal sign between those two ratios and solve for x

Answer 17

\[\frac{x}{11.2}=\frac{5.4}{6.3}\]

Answer 18

Okay. How would I solve for x?

Answer 19

Cross multiply
