Question
in the diagram, △fgh ~ △pqr. what is the approximate length of $overline{qr}$? a. 2.70 cm b. 4.45 cm c. 8.64 cm d. 16.80 cm
Step1: Establecer la proporción
Como $\triangle FGH\sim\triangle PQR$, las proporciones de lados correspondientes son iguales. Sea $QR = x$. Entonces $\frac{QR}{GH}=\frac{PR}{FH}$. Sabemos que $GH = 8.9$ cm, $FH=12.4$ cm y $PR = 6.2$ cm. Así, $\frac{x}{8.9}=\frac{6.2}{12.4}$.
Step2: Resolver la proporción para $x$
Cross - multiplicamos: $12.4x=6.2\times8.9$. Luego $12.4x = 55.18$. Dividimos ambos lados por 12.4: $x=\frac{55.18}{12.4}=4.45$ cm.
