Question

Triangle FGH is similar to triangle DEF. solve for p

Answer 1

We get value p=16

Explanation:

When triangles are similar, the ratio of corresponding sides is equal.

In the given triangles we have to find value of p

We have the ratio: (Can use ratio of any two sides)

`(HF)/(PD) =(GF)/(ED)`

Now, putting values and finding p

`(12)/(p)=(24)/(32)\\Cross\:Multiply\\12* 32 = 24 p\\p=(384)/(24)\\p= 16`

So, we get value p=16
