Question

Find the measurement of d please!

Answer 1

Given the information in the diagram, the measurement of d is 5m.

Explanation:

In the diagram, we know that the two triangles are similar to each other meaning their segments have equal ratios. We are already given the measurements of two segments. Let's find the ratio.

8 : 4

This can also be written as...

2 : 1

Now, we can find the measurement of d by using this ratio.

`(2)/(1)* (10)/(?)`

Cross - multiply.

`(10)/(2)` = 5

So, the measurement of d is 5m.

Answer 2

`(CD)/(FG) = (CE)/(FE) \\-> (8)/(4) = (10)/(d) \\->2 = (10)/(d) \\-> d = 5`
