What is the correct order of steps to solve this similarity problem?
If △DEF ~ △HJG; find x
Cross multiply to make the equation:
x=20
Replace the all the sides with numbers:
Simplify the equation to
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:
Divide both sides of the equation by 9:
USE THE SIMILARITY RELATIONSHIP TO FIND THE INDICATED VALUE:
If △DEF ~ △HJG; find x
What is the correct order of steps to solve this similarity problem?
If △QRS ~ △TUV; find x
UT is the side that has to be in the proportion created because it contains x, so create a proportion with UT using corresponding sides from each triangle:
Cross multiply to make the equation:
x=11
Replace the all the sides with numbers:
Simplify the equation to
Divide both side of the equation by 54:
Rewrite the similarity statement so that you can line up the corresponding letters from each polygon:
Subtract 270 from both sides of the equation:
USE THE SIMILARITY RELATIONSHIP TO FIND THE INDICATED VALUE:
If △QRS ~ △TUV; find x
USE THE SIMILARITY RELATIONSHIP TO FIND THE INDICATED VALUE:
If △AGM ~ △KXD; find x
USE THE SIMILARITY RELATIONSHIP TO FIND THE INDICATED VALUE:
If △TLY ~ △CHK; find x
USE THE SIMILARITY RELATIONSHIP TO FIND THE INDICATED VALUE:
If △BCD ~ △FGE; find FE
USE THE SIMILARITY RELATIONSHIP TO FIND THE INDICATED VALUE:
If △MNP ~ △QRP; find x
USE THE SIMILARITY RELATIONSHIP TO FIND THE INDICATED VALUE:
