@Studybird123 Thanks!! Um, but could you explain Similarity to me, please? Im having trouble with it...XD

OpenStudy (studybird123):

Yeah sure! for number 3 right?

OpenStudy (studybird123):

I go to k12 too if you want to know :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yesh please!! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

XD Coolz!!

Ok so you see how 12/3=4 and 16/4=4 when you are doing a problem like this always find out what number you need to use, in this case its 4. So when you multiply 5 and 4 you get 20 and there's your answer!

OpenStudy (studybird123):

Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um I think so. So, I just divide, in this case, the legs, by each other right? And then, I multiply the hypotenuse by each other?

OpenStudy (studybird123):

Yep you just wrapped it all up! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. Yeah I got then :D Thanks so much for your help!!

OpenStudy (studybird123):

yep your welcome :)
