Question

In the diagram at the right, PMN ~ SRW. MQ and the RT are altitudes. The scale of factor of PMN to SRW is 4:3. What is the ratio of MQ to RT? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Since the scales of the triangle is 4:3, thus each side of SRW is 3/4 of PMN, thus} \\ \text{the ratio of MQ to RT is 3/4!} \end{gathered}`
