Question

Triangle BIG is similar to triangle MOP. Find v.I52ft.M60ft.90ft.B27ft.PFigure is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Given that

`\Delta BIG\approx\Delta MOP`

Now, from the given figure,

`\begin{gathered} (BG)/(MP)=(60)/(90) \\ =(2)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Since,

`(IG)/(OM)\\e(2)/(3)`

Therefore, these two sides are not similar.

We can say that MO and BI are similar. Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} (BI)/(MO)=(v)/(27)=(2)/(3) \\ v=(2*27)/(3) \\ =18 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the value of v is 18.
