D = rt
We are given the rate r to be 15 mph.
We are given the time (in hours) to be 3.5.
We need to find D.
D = (15)(3.5)
D = 52.5 miles.
Did you follow?
As they are similar triangles, one is simply going to be bigger than the other, meaning that if triangle T’s side QS is = 9 and triangle W’s corresponding side ZX is =6.5. When dividing 9 by 6.5, it is obvious that triangle W is 0.72 smaller than triangle T. All you then have to do to calculate length of side XY is times side QR on triangle T -cause it’s the corresponding side of these two triangles- by 0.72, and you’ll have your answer of XY= 8.125 :)

Because it has two equal sides
Lesser x is 1/2 or 0.3
greater x is 4
