How can you use similar triangles to find a missing measurement?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vlad1618 [11]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

By comparison of the sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangles are similar, that means their angles are equal and sides are proportional.

If you already have a proportion of two corresponding sides between triangles, then use that proportion and set it equal to a side you already know the measurement to. Hopefully that side is corresponding to your missing measurement, and you can then solve it.

What is the volume of a cube that has a diagonal of 12.8 inches? (round to nearest tenth)
podryga [215]
A cube has all the sides equal.

A diagonal then acts as the hypotenuse of a face such that,

Sin 45° = Side/hypotenuse = Side/12.8 => Side = Hypotenuse * Sin 45 = 9.05 in

Volume = base*width*height = sides^3 (since all sides are equal) = 9.05^3 =741.22 in^3
To nearest tenth,
Volume = 741.2 in^3 {and correct answer is A)}

You need to measure the brightness of a light bulb using the metric system. In which unit do you express your measurement?
Nezavi [6.7K]
<span>When we find the measurement of a light bulb's brightness, we're actually looking for its luminous intensity. Recall that the SI unit (standard unit) used to represent an object's luminous intensity would be candela. Hence, the answer would be D. candela. </span>
