What would you need to know to find an unknown length?
 For this case you need to know three measurements.
 Two measures of the triangle that is similar and a measure of the original triangle.
 Thus, the fourth measure is what will be the unknown side and is the one that we must find.

 How would you find that unknown length?
 Let:
 a, b, c: known sides
 x: unknown side
 By similarity of triangles we have:
 x / a = b / c
 From here, we clear the value of the unknown side

<h2>Sample Response:</h2>

<em>(Edge 2020)</em>

I would need to know the length of a pair of corresponding sides, so I could set up a proportion to solve for the unknown length. I would set the ratio of the known corresponding sides equal to the unknown measure, making sure I put corresponding measures from the triangles in the same positions in the ratios. Then I would cross-multiply to solve.

laila [671]
Let g(x,y) be the midpoint of the segment ef;
So, x = (4+1)/2; then x = 5/2;
y = (-4+7)/2; then y = 3/2;
Finally, g(5/2,3/2).

What is the slope of the line?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is positive since it's going in an upwards direction (from l-->r). You can take any point from the line, and use RISE/RUN to find the slope. SInce you gou up 4, and right 5, the slope is 4/5.

I hope this made sense and that it helped!!
