Question

Triangle JKL and triangle PQR are similar. What is the measure is side PR?

Answer 1

Its 10 cm because 15/9 on one side is 1.6666666 or 5/3 that will have to be your scale factor from going from small to big. So 6 time 5/3 will get you 10.

Answer 2

ANSWER

The measure of side PR is

`10 \: cm`


Step-by-step explanation

Since the two triangles are similar, the ratio of corresponding sides are proportional.


This implies that,


`(|QR|)/(|KL|) = (|PR|)/(|JL|)`




We now substitute the values of the corresponding sides to obtain,


`(15)/(9) = (|PR|)/(6)`



We multiply both sides if the equation by 6 to obtain,



`(15)/(9) * 6= |PR|`


We simplify further to obtain,


`(15)/(3) * 2= |PR|`





`5 * 2= |PR|`



`|PR| = 10 \: cm`
