Question

Pls help :(

Clare and Han are discussing how to find the missing lengths. Clare says she is using similarity. Han says he is using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Find the missing sides

Answer 1

Answer:

similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

look , dude

the two triangles have the following features:

the angle B= angle C = 90 degree

the angle A= the angle F

so  the third angle in the first triangle = the third angle in the second triangle

so you have one condition of similarity which is the three angles are equal

to get the answer for lengths :

ab/fe= constant of proportionality

thus ab/fe=2.5/5=.5

so ac/13=.5 thus ac=6.5

and 6/de=.5 so de=12
