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 ,

`(7)/(8.75)=(9.8)/(j)`
`j=(9.8*8.75)/(7)=12.25in`

The correct option is B.
