Question

Kinda confused. Will give 20pts.

Answer 1

z = 11 and a = 12

Explanation:

These two triangles are similar, in this case, the same angles but different sizes. The answer to this problem is the length of the sides of the triangles. You are given the right side's length on both triangles. The first triangle's sides are 3 (inches, cm, whatever form of measurement is being used) bigger than the second triangle's. Using this information, you can figure out the quantity of both a and z.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Explanation:

the ratio between similar triangles are constant.

so 11/14 has to be equal to z/8 and also a15 = 11/14

so from this we can conclude that z = 8*14/11 = 10.18
