Question

Given quadrilateral TUVX ~ quadrilateral MNOP and VX = 5, XT = 10, and OP = 7, what is PM?

Answer 1

$\frac{PM}{OP}$=$\frac{XT}{VX}$
$\frac{PM}{7}$=$\frac{10}{5}$
We can either simplify 10/5 to 2 or just continue.
$\frac{PM}{7}$=2
PM=7 units
OR
PM×5=10×7
5PM=70
PM=14 units
We get the same answer either ways.

Answer 2
