OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

i told you the congruence now you can find lenghths

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 but I dont need the congruences, I need help finding the lengths.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

oh yeah so....

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

1s.thse triangles are similar not cngruent

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

in similar triangle ratio bettwen sides is the same

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

I think the answer is 22

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

yes 22

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

as ratio is same

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

because 5 plus 5 is 10, 9 plus 9 is 18

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

10/5=18/9=22/11=2

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

well yeah

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

11 plus 11 is 22 but i cant be sure

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

why? 11+11=22 for sure

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

ok but what if it looks like this |dw:1426879119216:dw|

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

ef/bc=ed/ab

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

x/12=4/6 x=2/3*12=2*4=8

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

=> ef=8

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):

Ooooh ok

OpenStudy (itsyacoolgrl):
