Question

Triangle ABC is similar to DEF. solve for both the unknown sides. triangles are not drawn to scale

Answer 1

we are going to use the thales theorem:

then

`(50)/(25.6)=(x)/(16)`

then solving for x, we have than

`x=31.25`

and by the same theorem:

`(y)/(25.6)=(24)/(16)`

then solving for y, we obtain:

`y=38.4`
