Question

20 POINTS HELPIf these two rectangles are similar, what is the measure of the missing length d ?

Answer 1

d (or V in the picture) = 16

Explanation:

Because the two triangle are similar, the ratios of each of the side lengths should be equal. Therefore, 8/1 should be equal to d/2.

1.) Set up equality of ratios: 8/1 = d/2

2.) Cross multiply: 8*2 = d*1

3.) 16 = d
