Question

Plz Help I would appreciate it!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Similar triangles are triangles with the same shape but not necessarily the same size

b) 15/45 = 8/x

1/3 = 8/x (simplify the 15/45)

x = 8 * 3 (cross multiplication)

x = 24

c) y^2 = 15^2 + 8^2 (Pythagoras theorem)

y = *square root of* 15^2 + 8^2

y = 17

1/3 = 17/z

z = 17 * 3 (cross multiplication)

z = 51
