@ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow you have brought my knowledge out i feel smart

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i see you're super good wid geometry :) keep it up !
