What is the correct order of steps to solve this similarity problem?
If △DEF ~ △HJG; find x
Cross multiply to make the equation:
Simplify the equation to
x=20
Rewrite the similarity statement so that you can line up the corresponding letters from each polygon:
JG is the side that has to be in the proportion created because it contains x, so create a proportion using corresponding sides from each triangle:
Replace the all the sides with numbers:
Divide both sides of the equation by 9:
