Question

Rita is writing statements as shown to prove that if segment ST is parallel to segment RQ, then x = 24.
Statement 5. (2x + 28):95 = Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion
Which of the following can she use to complete statement 5?
A) 28:95
B) 28:35
C) 60:95
D) 60:35

Answer 1

what goes after the equal sign for the statement corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion to be true

Answer 2

what do you notice about `2x + 28` ? Do you see how it's found by combining the lengths of QS and PS ?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

so PQ = 2x+28

similarly, PR = 95 since

PT = 35
TR = 60
PT+TR = 35+60 = 95 = PR

Answer 5

is it d
