Question

Given that the two triangles below are similar , find the values of g and h

Answer 1

Answer:

g = 4

h = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding sides of two similar figures are proportional to each other.

Therefore,

$\frac{g}{3} = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{6}{h}$

✔️Find g:

$\frac{g}{3} = \frac{8}{6}$

Cross multiply

g*6 = 8*3

6g = 24

Divide both sides by 6

g = 24/6

g = 4

✔️Find h:

$\frac{8}{6} = \frac{6}{h}$

Cross multiply

8*h = 6*6

8h = 36

h = 36/8

h = 4.5
