Question

In the figure triangle XYZ is similar to triangle XTU if XT measures 12cm what is the length of TY

Answer 1

20

Explanation:

It is stated that the triangles in the figure are similar:

We can use the side lengths' proportions to find the length of TY

UT/ZY = XT/TY

(9.6)/16 = 12/TY cross multiply expressions:

192 = (9.6)TY divide both sides by 9.6

20 = TY
