Question

The figures shown are similar . Find the lengths of x, y, and and z.The length of side x is

Answer 1

for x

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(6)=(13)/(8) \\ 8x=13*6 \\ 8x=78 \\ (8x)/(8)=(78)/(8) \\ x=9.75 \end{gathered}`

for y

`\begin{gathered} (y)/(6)=(16)/(8) \\ (y)/(6)=2 \\ (6y)/(6)=2*6 \\ y=12 \end{gathered}`

for z

`\begin{gathered} (z)/(6)=(13)/(8) \\ 8z=13*6 \\ 8z=78 \\ (8z)/(8)=(78)/(8) \\ z=9.75 \end{gathered}`
