Question

Triangles MOP and MNQ are similar. Find x.



I got x=3. Is it correct?

Answer 1

4 to (4+x) is the same as 6 to (6+2)

Answer 2

MQ to MP is the same as MN to MO

Answer 3

MP = MQ + QP = 4 + x

Answer 4

I set the question up as 4+x = 6+2
4+x = 8
x = 8-4
x = 4

Answer 5

nah,, it is a ratio

Answer 6

Sorry the answer I got was x=4 not x=3. I mistyped it xD

Answer 7

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 4+x }=\frac{ 6 }{ 6+2 }\]

Answer 8

length of the small triangle side over length of the same side on the larger = length of the smaller over the length of the larger same side

Answer 9

or you may just take the proportion of segments

Answer 10

yeah or that, same triangle a/b = other triangle ratio of the same sides

Answer 11

\[\frac{x}{4} = \frac{2}{6}\]

solve \(x\)

Answer 12

either way it gives you the same answer beacause the smaller triangle is part of the bigger triangle

Answer 13
