Question

Given that the two triangles below are similar , find the values of g and h

Answer 1

g = 4

h = 4.5

Explanation:

The corresponding sides of two similar figures are proportional to each other.

Therefore,

`(g)/(3) = (8)/(6) = (6)/(h)`

✔️Find g:

`(g)/(3) = (8)/(6)`

Cross multiply

g*6 = 8*3

6g = 24

Divide both sides by 6

g = 24/6

g = 4

✔️Find h:

`(8)/(6) = (6)/(h)`

Cross multiply

8*h = 6*6

8h = 36

h = 36/8

h = 4.5
