Okay well whatever you do to one side of the triangle you want to do to the other one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so how would I get started?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well you multiplied 8 times 2 to get 16 so do the same for the other triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Value for a is 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I would take 20/2 to get 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In other words what times 2 equals 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly
