Question

The triangles of below are similar

Answer 1

As we know that

Two triangles are said to be similar if the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal.

Here the two given triangles are similar .

Hence the ratios of their sides will be equal , so we can write

$\frac{22}{10}=\frac{33}{y} \\ \\ y=\frac{10}{22}*33\\ \\ y=5*3=15\\ \\ Also \ we \ can \ write \ \\ \\ \frac{22}{x}=\frac{10}{12}\\ \\ x=\frac{12}{10}*22\\ \\ x= \frac{132}{5}$

Answer 2

Hello!

As these triangles are similar, the ratios of the corresponding side lengths are the same. According to the 22 and 10, the larger triangle seems to be 2.2 times larger than the orange one.

To find y, we can divide 33 by 2.2 as they are corresponding.

33/2.2=15

Therefore, y=15

I hope this helps!
