Question

Need help finding the missing length to the attached triangle.

Answer 1

x = 60

Explanation:

All 3 right triangles are similar, thus ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

`(x)/(144)` =
`(25)/(x)` ( cross- multiply )

x² = 3600 ( take the square root of both sides )

x =
`√(3600)` = 60
