Step 4. is wrong. Triangle SPT is Not congruent to triangle QPR, it is only similar.

OpenStudy (allen27):

so uhh which one

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

The sides of triangle QPR, are in a common ratio with the sides of triangle SPT.

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

Uncle is right, only similar. But anyways as for getting the answer, just check which answer choice works with x=35

OpenStudy (allen27):

thx guys

OpenStudy (allen27):

so its the 2nd one?

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

Well since I can't leave you hanging, the last answer is correct because it's a ratio of the top part of the side compared to the whole side

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

So for the left, that's 28:40 (top:whole)

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

And the right side is x:x+15 (top:whole)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

28 : x :: 28+12 : x+15 28 : x :: 40 : x+15
