Question

In the triangles below, x y, e = f = 7 inches, and h = i = 8.75 inches.If g = 9.8 inches, what is the measure of j? A. 7.84 in B. 12.25 in C. 10.045 in D. 9.8 in

Answer 1

The two triangles are given which are similar.

Due to which the corresponding sides are proportional.

To determine the value of j ,

$\frac{7}{8.75}=\frac{9.8}{j}$$j=\frac{9.8\times8.75}{7}=12.25in$

The correct option is B.
