Please maybe just the answers
since they're similar they have to be proportionate
hypotenuse is 7, opposite is 5, so there's a difference of 2 numbers
for triangle 2, since the opposite is 19, the hypotenuse has to have the same difference
so it'd be 21 if I'm not mistaken

hypotenuse is 7, opposite is...
huh, I think i disagree
unborn lichen
thats what i thought to but it said it was wrong
plucky sedge
26.6 is what i got
plucky sedge
is 26.6 right?
unborn lichen
wb this?
unborn lichen
oh
plucky sedge
I have a trig test tomorrow so
ah okay, good luck btw
so one sec
ill explain
LMN is similiar to OPQ, meaning side LM corresponds with OP, MN would correspond with PQ, and etc. Similiar triangles have the same angles right, they are just differently scaled. If you can find that scale factor for one set of sides, it has to apply to the rest of the sides. Since we know that side OP (19) corresponds with LM (5), we can find the scale factor by doing 19/5. We know LN corresponds with QO, so now we can multiple LN (7) with that scale factor (19/5) to get 26.6.
@unborn lichen @west yarrow
does that make any sense
unborn lichen
yes
west yarrow
could u also do it using tangent?
unborn lichen
so for examble 7 (corresponding to x) * (sf) 19/5 = 26.6
plucky sedge
so for examble 7 (corresponding to x) * (sf) 19/5 = 26.6
yep
plucky sedge

nope, they aren't right triangles
west yarrow
nope, they aren't right triangles
right. forgot
thanks!
plucky sedge
right. forgot
thanks!
yep no problem
and you cant use law of sin or cosin either since no angles and a missing side.
@unborn lichen this can be closed
