Question

Give me a hand please! Triangle VZX is similar to RPQ where ZX corresponds to PQ. If VZ = 8 cm, ZX = 6.4 cm, VX = 11.2 cm, and PQ = 5.12 cm, what is the measure of RQ?

A) 4.096 cm
B) 10 cm
C) 8.96 cm
D) 6.4 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

C: 8.96

Step-by-step explanation:

We know taht ZX is similar to PQ. We can now set up the ratio of 6.4: 5.12

This ratio gives us .8:1

Multiply VX by the ratio to find its corresponding similar side of RQ

(11.2) * .8 = 8.96
