triangle ghi is similar to triangle jkl. if ih=36, kp=18, and lk=24, then mh=

a. 12
b. 20
c. 27
d. 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two triangles are similar;

This implies that;

Multiply both sides by 18

The correct answer option is C. 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two triangles, GHI and JKL, which are similar to each other.

Given that IH = 36, KP = 18 and LK = 24, we are to find the length of MH.

Since the two triangles are similar, so we will find the ratio of the given corresponding sides.

Now that we know the ratio, we can find the length of MH:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
