Answer 1

FD ≈ 87.4

Explanation:

since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

`(CA)/(FD)` =
`(AB)/(DE)` ( substitute values )

`(27)/(FD)` =
`(17)/(55)` ( cross- multiply )

17 FD = 27 × 55 = 1485 ( divide both sides by 17 )

FD ≈ 87.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
