The areas of two similar triangles are 18 cm2 and 8 cm2. one of the sides of the first triangle is 4.5 cm. what is the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle?

The corresponding side is 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have area, it is the related to the scale factor by the scale factor squared

Area large/ area of small = 18/8 = 9/4

Take the square root

sqrt(9/4)  = 3/2

The scale factor is 3/2    large to small

The large side is 4.5 cm

large         3            4.5 cm

  =   =  

small           2           x cm

Using cross products

3x = 2(4.5)

3x =9

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 9/3

x =3

for any of you who need the translation here it is

step-by-step explanation:

find the angular size of the equatorial radius of the earth, if the horizontal parallax of the sun

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
