Answer: The length of PQ = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ΔPQR and ΔABC are similar right triangles .

Since, we know that the corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

Therefore, we get

$\dfrac{PQ}{AB}=\dfrac{QR}{BC}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{PQ}{16}=\dfrac{80}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow\ PQ=4\times16\\\\\Rightarrow\ PQ=64$

Hence, the length of side PQ = 64 units

64; Line pq is correspondent with line ab and triangle PQR is 4 time as big as triangle ABC.

Have a look of the drawing... What is "d" value? I have tried many methods but don't find how to solve... Pleaseeee

Phoenix [80]

I´d say "d" is the distance from the eye to the wall.
Now substracting 1.2-1 you´ll get the distance of the wall of the smallest triangle = 0.2 And you do 1.5-0.2= 0.3 that´s the distance of the wall of the other triangle. Then you solve everything with Pitagoras theorem. You have 2 rectangle triangles.
B+alfa=45°
tan^-1(0.2/d)=B
tan^-1(1.3/d)=alfa
THEN:
tan^-1(0.2/d)+tan^-1(1.3/d)=45°
Now you have 3 ecs and 3 variables.
alfa,B and "d"
