Given that ΔPQR is similar to ΔPTS, what is the value of x?
Given that ΔPQR is similar to ΔPTS, what is the value of x?
If the angles are similar, then the lengths must be in the same ratio. SP is 3/4ths of PR, so X should be 3/4ths of QP, so X is 16 inches.
If ST and QR are parallel, then they are congruent through alternate interior angles. The triangles are also similar (I solved it. I'll show a picture) so since they are similar that means all the angles are congruent
