Answer:
Option D is correct.
Length of PQ is 36 unit.
Explanation:
If the measures of two sides in one triangle are proportional to the corresponding sides in the another triangle and their including angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar.
Given: Right angle triangle ABC at B , Length of AB = 12 unit and length of BC = 11.5 unit and in right angle triangle PQR at Q , length of QR = 34.5 unit.
Also it is given that Angle A is congruent to angle P and angle C is congruent to angle R.
To find the length of QR:
It is given that ΔABC and ΔPQR are Similar triangle
then, by the definition of similar triangle:
Substitute the value of AB, QR and BC to solve for PQ;
or
On simplify:
Therefore, the length of side PQ is 36 units.
Here's a diagram showing how to combine angles LDA (in red) and angle ADE (in blue). Hopefully it becomes a bit clearer why these two angles add up to line segment LE. Erase the shared segment DA if it helps show LE better.
