Answer 11

To solve problems with similar triangles, it's good to see which sides are corresponding, and which sides we know and are being asked to find.

Answer 12

LK Lol

Answer 13

so i have to do a proportion

Answer 14

yes I think So

Answer 15

i got 48

Answer 16

We want x.
x corresponds to 18.
We know 36, and 36 corresponds to 24.

That allows us to write a proportion.

\(\Large \dfrac{36}{24} = \dfrac{x}{18} \)

Now we reduce the fraction on the left side, and we cross multiply.

Answer 17

so it is 27

Answer 18

i wish i could give medals to you both

Answer 19

Yes it is 27

Answer 20

\(\Large \dfrac{3}{2} = \dfrac{x}{18} \)

\(\Large 2x = 3(18)\)

\(\Large 2x = 54\)

\(\Large x = 27\)

Yes, you are correct.
