Question

can someone tell me if im right

Answer 1

In the figure, ΔABC ~ ΔDEF. Solve for x.

Triangles ABC and DEF. Angles B and E are congruent and measure 160 degrees. AB measures x. BC measures 16. DE measures 3. EF measures 8.

x = 1.5
x = 6
x = 4
x = 5.5

Answer 2

1.5 is what i got

Answer 3

k..

Answer 4

~ means similar right..

Answer 5

ya

Answer 6

ok i think you mixed it up a bit...

Answer 7

how

Answer 8

since the triangles are similar, the ratios of similar sides are the same...

Answer 9

so that means it would have to be 5.5

Answer 10

\[\frac{ DE }{ AB } = \frac{ EF }{ BC }\]

Answer 11

so i was right because it would equal and 5.5 shows that

Answer 12

\[\frac{ 3 }{ x } = \frac{ 8 }{ 16 }\]

Answer 13

im lost

Answer 14

the ratios of DE/AB has to be the same as EF/BC , since they are similar triangles

Answer 15

just have to fill in the numbers

Answer 16

well now i got 6 i multiplied then divided by 100

Answer 17

yep, x=6

Answer 18

yesss

Answer 19

thats cross multiplying

Answer 20

thank you

Answer 21
