#3 Answer:

The other sides are 18.75 and 22.5

#3 Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the similar triangle

So,
(8)/(10)=(15)/(x)=(18)/(y)
\left\{The\ corresponding\ sides\ are\ proportional\right\}


x=18.75,\ y=22.5

#4 Answer:

4:5

#4 Step-by-step explanation:


(4)/(5)=(12)/(15)=(20)/(25)=(6)/(5)


So\ the\ scale\ factor\ is\ 4:5

#5 Answer:

24 cm

#5 Step-by-step explanation:


12/0.5

Calculate


(12)/(0.5)

Multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same integer


(120)/(5)

Cross out the common factor

24

I hope this helps you

\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution \:1}}}

Here, We have given

  • The sides of a triangle are 8 , 15 and 18
  • The one of the side of the similar traingle is 10.

Let assume the given triangle as ΔABC and ΔXYZ

According to the similarity theorem

  • If two triangle's are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are also equal .

Therefore, By using above theorem :-


\sf{( A)/(X)}{\sf{=}}{\sf{( B)/(Y)}}{\sf{=}}{\sf{( C)/(Z)}}

Subsitute the required values


\sf{( 8)/(10)}{\sf{=}}{\sf{( 15 )/(Y)}}{\sf{=}}{\sf{(18)/(Z)}}

For other two sides of another similar triangle


\sf{( 8 )/(10)}{\sf{=}}{\sf{( 15)/(Y)}}


\sf{Y =15}{\sf{*{( 10)/(8)}}}


\sf{Y =15}{\sf{*{( 5)/(4)}}}


\sf{Y = }{\sf{( 75)/(4)}}


\bold{Y = 18.75 }

And,


\sf{( 8 )/(10)}{\sf{=}}{\sf{( 18)/(Z)}}


\sf{Z =18 }{\sf{*{( 10)/(8)}}}


\sf{Z =18}{\sf{*{( 5)/(4)}}}


\sf{Z = }{\sf{( 90)/(4)}}


\bold{Z = 22.5 }

Hence, The two sides of the another similar triangle is 18.75 and 22.5


\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution \:2}}}

Here, We have

  • Two similar triangles
  • Whose sides are 4 , 12 ,20 and 5 , 15 , 25

Let assume the two triangle be ΔABC and ΔPQR

According to the similarity theorem :-

  • If two triangle's are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are also equal .

That is,


\sf{( A)/(P)}{\sf{=}}{\sf{( B)/(Q)}}{\sf{=}}{\sf{( C)/(R)}}

Subsitute the required values,


\sf{(4 )/(5)}{\sf{=}}{\sf{( 12)/(15)}}{\sf{=}}{\sf{( 20 )/(25)}}


\sf{(4 )/(5)}{\sf{=}}{\sf{\cancel{( 12)/(15)}}}{\sf{=}}{\sf{\cancel{( 20 )/(25)}}}


\bold{(4 )/(5)}{\sf{=}}{\bold{( 4)/(5)}}{\sf{=}}{\bold{( 4 )/(5)}}

Hence, The scale factor of the given similar triangles is 4/5


\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution \: 3}}}

Here, we have given that

  • A map in Davao City has a scale factor of 1 cm to 0.5 km
  • That is,
  • 1 : 0.5

But,

  • We have to find the distance corresponds to an actual distance of 12 km.

Therefore,

According to the scale factor

The actual distance will be


\sf{=}{\sf{( 12 )/(0.5)}}


\bold{ = 24 \: km }

Hence, The map distance corresponds to actual distance of 12 km is 24 km.
