@HanAkoSolo

HanAkoSolo:

ookay so similar sort of deal here! Try to find two sides that are both labeled and find the growth factor (ratio, if you will).

Nicole:

Okay so 25 divided by 5 which is 5 so thats the growth factor?

HanAkoSolo:

Yep correct.

HanAkoSolo:

the shape is growing/shrinking by a factor of 5. You can use this knowledge to calculate the rest of the sides.

HanAkoSolo:

25 shrinks to 5 (25/5), 10 shrinks to 2 (10/5), so if we divide 15 by 5, we should be arriving at the answer yet again.

Nicole:

3 is y

HanAkoSolo:

you mean x, right? @Nicole but otherwise yes, you are right!

Nicole:

My bad x yes okay okay got it thanks

HanAkoSolo:

y is actually 20, if that makes sense to you :p

HanAkoSolo:

HanAkoSolo:

Hope this all makes more sense to you, love c:

Nicole:

Yes thank you hun
