To find the length of RP, we first need to determine the scale factor relating the two similar triangles, ∆CDE and ∆PQR.
The scale factor between two similar triangles is the ratio of corresponding side lengths. In this case, the corresponding sides are CD and PQ.
Scale factor (k) = PQ/CD = 15/9 = 5/3
Now, to find the length of RP:
RP = k * EC
RP = (5/3) * 15
RP = 25 m
Therefore, the length of RP is 25 meters.
△CDE∼△PQR. CD=9 m, EC=15 m, PQ=15 m. What is the length of RP
25 m
0.6 m
9 m
30 m
