Question

Solve this triangle (photo attached)

Answer 1

• x = 15
• y = 4

Explanation:

The pair of segments on the right tells you the ratio of the segment length above the horizontal line to that below the horizontal line is ...

18 : 6 = 3 : 1

Then x = 3 times 5 = 15.

12 is 3 times y, so y = 4.
