OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
Which equation can she use as statement 5?
x:15 = 28:40
28:12 = x:(x + 15 )
x + 15 = 28 + 12
28:40 = x:(x + 15)
OpenStudy (atlas):
what do you think?
Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional which means PS:PQ = PT:PR
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
I am not good with proofs
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
like... AT ALL

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
is it C ?
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
@atlas OH WAIT ITS A right? because PS:PQ = PT:PR
OpenStudy (atlas):
PR = x+15
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
Yes and PQ = 28 + 12

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
that ratio is : \(28 : (28+12)\)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you need to take the other side ratio in similar way

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
x: (x + 15) ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Yes !!!!
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
both ratios are equal cuz triangles are similar
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(28 : (28+12) = x : (x+15)\)
