Question

2 triangles are shown. The first triangle has side lengths 35, 20, and 20. The second triangle has side lengths x, 44, 44.
What value of x will make the triangles similar by the SSS similarity theorem?

Answer 1

The value of x is 77 cm which will make the triangles similar by SSS similarity theorem

Given length of the three sides of one triangle are  35 , 20 and 20

and length of the three sides of another triangle are  x, 44,44

We need to find the values of x by using SSS Similarity theorem

We know that triangles are are similar by side - side - side similarity creation and hence the sides are in the same ratio

As both the triangles are isosceles triangles

Therefore ,

x/35 = 44/20=44/20 (Using ratio)

Solving the equation we get

x=44*35/20

x= 77

Hence the value of x is 77cm
