Question

HELP ASAP PLEASE HELLPPPPPPP the triangles are similar. find the missing side length of x

Answer 1

Answer: I'm pretty sure its 78.

Explanation:

27 x 1.5 = 18

52 x 1.5 = 78

Answer 2

x = 78

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(OD)/(AP)` =
`(DT)/(PN)` , substitute values

`(27)/(18)` =
`(x)/(52)` ( cross- multiply )

18x = 1404 ( divide both sides by 18 )

x = 78
