since corresponding sides are in the same ratio,
x/20 = 6/8 = 12/16
They explained it already, and even gave the proportion to solve
Dear Jiskha Tutors,
Please help me Understand this. Thank you,
Two triangles are shown. The first triangle has sides x, 6 cm, and 12 cm, and the second triangle has corresponding sides 20 cm, 8 cm, and 16 cm.
The two triangles above are similar.
A. Find X using the ratio of the sides 12 cm and 16 cm: x/20=12/16. Show your work.
B. Find x using the ratio of the sides 6 cm and 8 cm. Show your work.
C.Explain why the answers to (a) and (b) should be the same.
Don't have to tell me the answer, just explain it.
