Answer:
AX : XB as AB : AC
AX = 5
XB = 4
AC = 6
AB = x
Step-by-step explanation:
5 : 4 as to x : 6
ratios can also be written as fractions...
5/4 = x/6 ..now we have a proportion...so we cross multiply
(4)(x) = (5)(6)
4x = 30
x = 30/4
x = 15/2 <==== AB = 15/2
Wrote as a fraction 563/1000
Answer:
Ratio: 3:2
LN = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
"similar" means that all the angles are the same and the sides were all increased by the same proportion.
Thus, we know that MN/YZ = LM/XY = NL/ZX
First, we need to find the ratio. To do this, we write MN/YZ as a fraction, and simplify.
MN/YZ = 15/10 = 3/2
(If you want, you can double check this using LM nd XY. 8 * 3/2 = 12, so this is correct)
To find the missing side, we simply multiply XZ by 3/2.
12 * 3/2 = 18, so LN = 18.
