Question

The two triangles below are similar. Find the missing sides. 7 у 218 2.4 418 8

Answer 1

For this case we can use a proportional rule to solve for the value of y and we got:

`(y)/(2.4)=(7.2)/(4.8)`

And solving for y we got:

`y=2.4\cdot(7.2)/(4.8)=(7.2)/(2)=3.6`

And for the other value we can do this:

`(2.8)/(2.4)=(x)/(4.8)`

Solving for x we got:

`x=4.8\cdot(2.8)/(2.4)=2\cdot2.8=5.6`
