Question

How do I find the missing side of this triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

by using similar triangles;

27/24=45/x

x=45x24/27=40

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so Q in triangle GFQ is equal to Q in triangle QRS so that means S=G and F=R

line GF = line SR, so divide, (45 ÷ 27 = $1\frac{2}{3}$)

line FQ = line RQ, so multiply line FQs length by $1\frac{2}{3}$ (24 × $1\frac{2}{3}$ = 40)

the length of QR, or x, is 40
