Question 17.

k = _____________
Answer:
The corresponding angles and sides will have the same ratio in similar triangles.
(20 × 20) + (21 × 21) = AC²
AC² = 400 + 441 = 841
AC = √841
AC = 29
DE/AC = 43.5/21 = 1.5
FE = 1.5 × BC
FE = 1.5 × 20 = 30
DF = 1.5 × AB
DF = 1.5 × 21 = 31.5
DE² = DF² + FE²
= 31.5² + 30²
= 992.25 + 900
= 1892.25
DE = √1892.25
DE = 43.5

These similar triangles are drawn to scale. Find the missing side lengths.

Question 18.

VX² = 400 + 300
VX = √700
VX = 26.45 ft
SU/VX = 30/26.45
SU/VX = 1.13 ft
TU = 1.13 × 15
TU = 16.95 ft
ST = 20 × 1.13
ST =  22.6 ft
