It won't let me upload my image but there are two triangles and the first triangle is the same as the second but bigger so The big triangle Length and Width is 18 cm =L and 10 cm =W
And the second triangle L=x and W= 5 cm

Please try to figure out :) I will trophy !!

phi · Answer

the smaller width  is 5
the big width is 10

what do you multiply 10 by to make it 5 ?

19rutlehop · Answer

2?

phi · Answer

or if  you like equations
k*10 = 5
what is k ?
one way to "solve for k" is divide both sides by 2

phi · Answer

2*10 is 20
that is not what you want

how about ½ ?

phi · Answer

½ * 10 = 5

right ?

now use that same factor to figure out the short triangle's Length

19rutlehop · Answer

So confusing. So 1/2 is the answer? Or are we getting there?

phi · Answer

Not too confusing.  the little triangle's sides are all ½ the size of the big triangle's sides

19rutlehop · Answer

God damn... You are probably explaining this perfectly well but I'm to freaking slow to figure this out. Please forgive me.

phi · Answer

please don't swear

phi · Answer

If a problem is hard, try a simple one "to practice on"

what is ½ of 2 ?

19rutlehop · Answer

1

19rutlehop · Answer

phi · Answer

you want ½ of 18

yes 9 is the answer
