Answer:

a = 3

b = 2

Explanation:

The ratio of the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are always equal. Therefore,

9/a = 18/6 = 6/b

✔️Let's solve for a:

9/a = 18/6

9/a = 3

Cross multiply

a*3 = 9

Divide both sides by 3

a = 9/3

a = 3

✔️Let's find b:

18/6 = 6/b

3 = 6/b

3*b = 6

b = 6/3

b = 2
