Question

1. Given: LMN ~ QPR, find RQ.

Answer 1

C. 27

Explanation:

If those two triangles are similar then look at how much one side is being increased to the other triangle. ML is similar to PQ and it increases by 1.5 to get there.

So find the side similar to RQ which is LN

1.5(x+7)=2x+5

1.5x+10.5=2x+5

5.5=0.5x

x=11

Then plug in 11 for x to find RQ which will be 27
