Triangle abc is similar to xyz. which proportion can be used to find the unknown side length

Unknown side length of two similar triangles can be found out by scale factor and any of the side lengths.

Step-by-step explanation:

The similarity is one of the criteria of triangles. Two triangles are similar when their respective sides are in similar ratio or proportion. In layman’s term, it can be understood as a condition in which two triangles have similar shapes but not similar sizes.

If ΔABC is similar toΔ XYZ, then their respective sides would be in proportion to each other.

This means AB/XY=AC/XZ=BC/YZ

This common ratio is often termed as “scale factor”

Hence any sides length can be found out if either of the terms (i.e. scale factor, side ) is given.

answer:

total cost for tiles and paints is $924.  

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given that a community hall is in the shape of a cuboid. the hall is 40m long 15m high and 3m wide.

the paint will be required for 4 walls and ceiling.

let us find area of walls and ceiling.

therefore, the area of walls and ceiling is 1410 square meters.

given: cost for 10 litre of paint is $10 and 10 litre paint covers 25 square meter. therefore,

therefore, the total painting cost is $564.

tiles will be required for floor. let us find the area of floor.

given: 1m squared floor tiles costs $3. so,

therefore, the total tiles cost is $360.

now let us find combined total cost of tiles and paint.

therefore, the combined total cost of tiles and paint is $924.
