Answer 1

Case: Triangles similarity ratios

Given:

Required: Find the missing sides x and y

Method:

A) To find x:

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(9)=(8)/(6) \\ 6x=72 \\ Dividing\text{ both sides by 6} \\ x=12 \end{gathered}`

B) To find y

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(6)=(y-3)/(4) \\ 6(y-3)=12 \\ 6y-18=12 \\ 6y=12+18 \\ 6y=30 \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 6} \\ y=5 \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

x= 12

AND

y= 5
