Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Look at the answer above mine, I just made it more simple for some people.

Answer 2

Given:

Given that two triangles. A triangle has a base A and height 8 centimeters.

Another triangle has a base of 3 centimeters and height of 4 centimeters.

We need to determine the length of side A.

Length of side A:

Since, these two triangles are similar, let us use the property of similarity of triangles to determine the length of side A.

Thus, we have;

`(8)/(4)=(A)/(3)`

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, we have;

`(8 * 3)/(4)=A`

Simplifying, we get;

`6=A`

Thus, the length of side A is 6 centimeters.

Hence, Option d is the correct answer.
