Given that the triangles are similar how to find x
1 answer:
So if they are similar then just try to figure out which two sides correspond to each other from the first and then the second triangle.
See how in the above example I did 20 and 5 not 20 and 14 or 20 and 3.5 because they do not correspond with one another.
Then figure out, is x on the mama or baby shape and either multiply the number received from all proportions or divide.
Multiply : small to big ( # missing on the bigger one )
Divide : big to small ( # missing on the smaller one)

I hope that helps you out!! Any more questions??

Given:
A driver is below the surface of the water at - 15m. he dives down by 6m, then rises 4m.
To find:
The current location of the driver.
Solution:
In this problem, negative sign is used for downward direction or the distance below the surface of the water.
Initial location = -15 m
Dives down by 6m, it means - 6m, then rises 4m, it means 4 m.
Now, the current location is
Therefore, the correct location of the driver is at -17 m it means her is 17 m below the surface of the water.
