Question

How do I find Y Im still confused on how to solve Y and if you have any tips please lmk asap. Thank you

Answer 1

y = 3

Explanation:

Since ABCD is similar to EFGH, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal. Thus:

AB/EF = CD/GH

AB = 3

EF = 2

CD = 4.5

GH = y

Substitute

3/2 = 4.5/y

Cross multiply

3*y = 4.5*2

3y = 9

Divide both sides by 3

3y/3 = 9/3

y = 3
