Question

Use the diagram below to find the lengths of the missing sides. Figures in each diagram are similar.

X=1
X=5
X=4.5
X=15

Answer 1

Answer:

4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar

so the equation is

$\frac{a}{6} = \frac{15}{20}$

$20a = 90$

$a = \frac{90}{20}$

$a = 4.5$

Answer 2

a/15 =6/20
a = 15x6 /20 = 4.5
Using pythagoreas :
Xy= 7.5
And rq = 25
