Can you show me how to do this problem:
Find the missing dimensions of triangle XYZ.
The info it gives me is side X has the number 2, Side Y has the letter m , and Z has the letter n.
What do I do for this?
5 answers
not without knowing the angles
The other part was triangle ABC. Side A had the number 8, Side B had 10, and Side C has 16.
Lenny -- how do you know what was in Mary's problem?
LOL, talk about trying to confuse me !
If those are corresponding sides in two triangles
and A is 4 times X
then
B is 4 times Y and m = 10/4 = 2.5
and
C is 4 times Z and n = 16/4 = 4

That name game is just part of trying to hopelessly confuse me.
