Question

Find the value of M, to the nearest tenth of a yard.

Answer 1

10.7 yd

Explanation:

Both the right triangles would be similar by AA Postulate.

Since, corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

`\therefore \: (M)/(4) = (5 + 3)/(3) \\ \\ \therefore \: (M)/(4) = (8)/(3) \\ \\ \therefore \: M = (8 * 4)/(3) \\ \\\therefore \: M = (32)/(3) \\ \\\therefore \: M =10.7 \: yd \\ \\`
