The diagram of two similar triangles to complete the proportion is; Height of Person/Height of flower = Length of a person's shadow/Length of flowers' shadow.

<h3>How to solve similar triangles?</h3>

From the concept of similar triangles, we know that If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor.

Applying this similar triangles theorem to our question, we can say that;

Height of a person/length of a person's shadow = Height of flower/length of a flower's shadow

We can rewrite this to get;

Height of Person/Height of flower = Length of a person's shadow/Length of flowers' shadow.

Answer:

Santosh purchased 4 new and 4 used DVDs.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, as you know that Santosh spent $200 and that the DVD player cost $120, you can say that the new and used DVDs cost $80, which can be expressed as:

15x+5y=80, where:

x refers to the number of new DVDs

y refers to the number of used DVDs

Now, as the statement indicates that Santosh purchased the same number of new and used DVDs, this means that x is equal to y and you can replace y with x and solve for x:

15x+5x=80

20x=80

x=80/20

x=4

According to this, the answer is that Santosh purchased 4 new and 4 used DVDs.
