#

This is how I would start

#

If I have that angle I have the other angle because they’re congruent

#

#

#

This is the angle with the single line

since the triangles are similar cant you just take the ratio of 2 known sides to solve for the unknown?

dusk sphinx Mar 1, 2024, 2:59 AM

#

Yeah

#

Show me how you would do that

fringe fox Mar 1, 2024, 3:00 AM

#

(80/48) * 53.4

#

i think?

dusk sphinx Mar 1, 2024, 3:00 AM

#

You’re getting close I think

#

Where’s the r?

fringe fox Mar 1, 2024, 3:01 AM

#

89 yards

#

We didn’t solve for it in your example

fringe fox Mar 1, 2024, 3:04 AM

#

what do you mean?

dusk sphinx Mar 1, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

You want to write the ratio, right?

fringe fox Mar 1, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

yeah so the ratio is 80/48

dusk sphinx Mar 1, 2024, 3:05 AM

#

Equals?

#

We need a variable to solve for

#

dusk sphinx Mar 1, 2024, 3:07 AM

#

fringe fox (80/48) * 53.4

So this is correct! Just set it equal to r 😁 my bad

ah sorry for not writing that lol, i was confused for a minute 😅
