Answer:
BC = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
1.5 BC = 5.4 ( divide both sides by 1.5 )
BC = 3.6
The correct answer is B. So for A, 8m is smaller than 12 m. For B, 20 m is Bigger. For C, Find how many meters is 1 centimeter, the answer is 1 cm : 12m, the meter is not bigger than 12, but the same, so C is wrong. For D, divide both sides by 3 to find 1 CM, the answer is 1 cm : 5 m, it is wrong.
Your method is right so u already know how to do it
12h-9h=3h move everything else to other side
3h=20-40+6
3h=-14
divide by 3
h=-14/3
