Question

Triangle NOP is similar to triangle QRS. Find the measure of side RS. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

22.1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is similar then the side lengths have common ratios

*Create ratio to solve for RS*

47.8/13 = RS/6

Now solve for RS

simplify

47/13 = 3.677

We now have 3.677 = RS/6

Multiply each side by 6

3.677 * 6 = 22.1

RS/6 * 6 = RS

we're left with RS = 22.1
