Question

how to find similar triangles for this one problem?

WSR is similar to TVR. Find X

going to draw it

Answer 1

WS= 10
SR= is not shown, so that's fine
WR=x+2

RT=x+6
TV=20
VR= is not show

Answer 2

Answer 4

okay so they are similar triangles
one is a scale factor of the other

you are given length WS=10
length VT=20

you do a ratio of the second shape to the first shape to get the scale factor

20:10
2:1

so the scale factor is 2
therefore you know that 2WR=RT

Answer 5

2(x+2)=x+6

Answer 6

oh duh, I feel so stupid right now lol -.- so x=2 right?
