yes

Answer 18

so similarly for your triangle, I drew the triangles so you could see that they look so similar

Answer 19

so the AC side is in a ratio with the PR side of the other triangle

similarly, the CB side would be in a ratio with the ____ what side? of the other triangle

Answer 20

ab

Answer 21

no no, it has to be the other triangle

Answer 22

and look at where CB is

It's at the bottom, it's the base

Answer 23

what's the bottom/base of the other triangle?

Answer 24

rq

Answer 25

There you go!!

Answer 26

so that's our missing side in our equation

Answer 27

give me a min so I can log into class LOL

Answer 28

is rq .5 IDK I'm stupid

Answer 29

no

Answer 30

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AZ
no
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Answer 31

so do they want you to find the value of RQ as well?

or is RQ enough

Answer 32

I don't get it

Answer 33

I think RQ is your final answer

Answer 34

I don't think we have to find out what RQ is

Answer 35

I got pr

Answer 36

@az am I right
