Question

Triangle EFG is similar to triangle HIJ. Find the measure of side HI. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Figures are not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Since they are similar, they are proportional, so we can write a rule of three:

`(HI)/(7)=(59)/(12)`

Solving for HI:

HI = (7)(59)/12 = 34.4

Answer:

HI = 34.4
