@iGreen @iGreen.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

These two triangles are similar, so use proportions to solve for the missing side.

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

the same colored sides correspond with each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's C? @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the answer is it C? @iGreen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can set up a proportion: \(\dfrac{8}{12} = \dfrac{x}{9}\) Cross multiply. 8 * 9 = ? 12 * x = ? And no, C is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72 and 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um, no 12 * x isn't 6..it's just 12x. That gives us: \(72 = 12x\) Now we divide 12 to both sides, what's 72 / 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep the answer is six

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72 / 12 its six

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, that's your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
