If triangles AMN and ABC are similar, then
AM/AB = AN/AC
or
AM/(AM + MB) = AN/(AN + NC)
Check if this is true:
AM/AB = 21/(21 + 9) = 21/30 = 7/10
AN/AC = 14/(14 + 6) = 14/20 = 7/10
The angle at vertex A is common to both of the triangles.
Then by the side-angle-side (SAS) similarity theorem, the triangles are indeed similar.
1st piece = x
2nd piece = x+2
3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5
37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =
37 = 3x+7
30=3x
x = 30/3 = 10
1st piece = 10 inches
2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches
3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
