Answer:
m = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that the two triangles are similar. Thus, each side of the larger triangle is the same multiple of the corresponding side in the smaller triangle.
Thus, 12 = k(7.2), where k is the constant of proportionality.
Solving this for k, we get
k = 12/7.2 = 1 2/3
Thus, side m is 1 2/3 times 3, or 5/3 times 3, or just 5.
m = 5
This is a false statement.
When you are solving using square roots, you need to be aware that answers can be both positive and negative. When we solve this, you see there are two possible answers.
x^2 - 9 = 0
x^2 = 9
x = +/- 3
While 3 is an answer, so is -3. If we square either of those numbers, we get 9, which will satisfy the equation.
