Answer 2

the same procedure. cross multiply

Answer 3

set it up for me

Answer 4

you can do the job we did this in the last question

Answer 5

i dont know how to do it

Answer 6

Since the 2 triangles are "similar," the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional.

What do you know of the meaning of "similar?" of "proportional?"

Answer 7

I know you know how to do it. In this problem you are finding the missing length of one of the similar triangles. Therefore, what you will do a proportion

Answer 8

similar look alike

Answer 9

lengh x high

Answer 10

base / height = base/height

Answer 11

Then when you set up the proportion you cross multiply then divide

Answer 12

Here is an example

Answer 13

Looking at the horiz. sides only, you could write a ratio: 10 is to 12 as x is to 20.

Our job is to find the value of x.

We write an equation based on the above: 10 is to 12 as x is to 20, or \[\frac{ 10 }{ 12 }=\frac{ x }{ 20 }\] Cross multiplication will enable you to solve for the value of x. @izzy18970?

Answer 14

Find the missing length

Answer 15

x
50
3

Answer 16

x=50/3

Answer 17

@EKKERKING can you set up the proportion for this problem?

Answer 18

i dont know how to do that
