For this case we must indicate the cosine of A, of the figure shown. By definition:
Substituting the values we have:
So, we have to:
Answer:
Option D
Answer:
Δ PQT ~ Δ QRS .....{S-S-S test for similarity}...Proof is below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
In Δ PQT
PQ = 30 ft
QT = 28 ft
TP = 20 ft
In Δ QRS
QR = 15 ft
RS = 14 ft
SQ = 10 ft
To Prove:
Δ PQT ~ Δ QRS
Proof:
First we consider the ratio of the sides
..............( 1 )
..............( 2 )
..............( 3 )
So By equation ( 1 ), ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) we get
Now in Δ PQT and Δ QRS we have
Which are corresponding sides of a similar triangle in proportion.
∴ Δ PQT ~ Δ QRS .....{S-S-S test for similarity}...Proved
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 8
y = 40
The two triangles we can see in the diagram are similar, which means that their measurements are proportional. Line MN on the larger triangle MNP is 71.5ft long, and its corresponding line, MA, on the smaller triangle is 71.5-22= 49.5ft long. This means that the scale factor from the bigger to the smaller triangle is 71.5/49.5=13/9.
If line MP on the bigger rectangle is 97.5ft long, then its corresponding line, MB, must be 97.5÷13/9=67.5 ft long.
Therefore, x=67.5 ft
