Question

Given that triangle ABC is similar to triangle

EFG, if BC = 5, and FG = 12.5, what is the length of EH?
4.5
5
5.5
6

Answer 1

the answer is 5

Explanation:

it is

Answer 2

`EH=5\ units`

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

`(BC)/(FG)=(AD)/(EH)`

substitute the given values

`(5)/(12.5)=(2)/(EH)`

`EH=12.5*2/5=5\ units`
