Question

The triangles are similar. Find the value of the variable.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The given are two similar triangles.

We can use the following equation to find the variables:

$\frac{y-3}{32} = \frac{18}{24}$

Cross multiply fractions

32*18 = 24(y-3)

576 = 24y - 72

add 72 to both sides

648 = 24y

divide both sides by 24

27 = y
