Answer:
a) 16.25 centimeters
b) 6.8 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion for both of these problems.
a) Look at the longest side of each triangle. We can set up a fraction: 7.2/18. We can also set up a fraction for XZ and PR:
6.5/x
x represents the length you're trying to find.
Since the triangles are similar, we have an equation:
7.2/18=6.5/x
Cross multiply
16.25
XZ is 16.25 centimeters long.
b)
We can do same thing:
7.2/18=x/17
Cross multiply
6.8
QR is 6.8 centimeters long.
