is this the same with the other arc we did ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
do you see two triangles in the given diagram ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
how big is the outer large triangle compared to the inner smaller triangle ?

14?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Notice the inner smaller triangle has one side length of `7`
and the outer large triangle has a measure of `14`
so looks like the outer triangle has `twice` the lengths as the sides of inner triangle ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

i just noticed that
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
In light of above observation,
compare the smaller trianlge side QR with the larger triangle side TS

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
you want to find the length of QR
and you know that TS = 20
so can you guess the length of QR ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
just take a good look at the given diagram and try to make a guess :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
brilliant! yes!
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
20/2 = 10
the smaller triangle's sides are half of corresponding sides of the outer bigger triangle
