Question

Find the value of x if the two triangles are similar. Explain.

Answer 1

Given :

• The given two triangles are similar .

To find :-

• The value of x .

Solution :

In larger triangle :-

• 90 + y + y = 180
• 2y = 180 - 90
• 2y = 90
• y = 45°

As we know that ,

Corresponding Angles of similar triangles are same ,

• 15x = 45
• x = 45/15
• x = 3
