Question

zero, depending on your answer.|A flashlight is projecting a triangle onto a wall, as shown below.20nThe original triangle and its projection are similar. What is the missing length n on the projection?C 19.230O13.328

Answer 1

If two triangles are similar, it means that the ratio of their corresponding sides is the same. By applying this to the given triangles, it means that

20/n = 16/24

By crossmultiplying, we have

n x 16 = 20 x 24

16n = 480

n = 480/16

n = 30

The second option is correct
