Question

Can someone help answer this for me? this does not make any sort of sense to me

Answer 1

Solution:

Note that:

• Triangle ABC ≅ Triangle FGH
• AC = 30 units
• CB = 10 units
• BA = 35 units
• FH = 18 units
• HG = 6 units

Looking at both the triangles, we can say that:

• FH = 3AC/5 = 3(30)/5 = 90/5 = 18 units
• HG = 3BC/5 = 3(10)/5 = 30/5 = 6 units

We can do the same with AB and FG.

• FG = 3AB/5 = 3(35)/5 = 3(7) = 21 units
