a) Name a correct order for the triangle that is similar to .
b) Find the length of .
c) Find the ratio of the area of to the area of .
Given: .
2. Solution Steps
a) We are given that is similar to . Thus, a correct order is .
b) To find the length of , we can use the similarity of the triangles and .
We have and , so .
We also have and , so .
Now, since , we have the following ratios:
From the image, it appears that is parallel to . Then, from the given information, we are given:
.
Given and , then .
Also, we are given .
Therefore, .
.
Hence .
c) To find the ratio of the area of to the area of , we can use the property that the ratio of the areas of similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
Since , then
.
