The triangles above are similar if a = 15 inches b 27 inches and d 5 inches what is the length of side e

Length of side e = 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Similar triangle

a = 15 inches

b = 27 inches

d = 5 inches

Find:

Length of side e

Computation:

We know that given similar triangle

So,

a / b = d / e

15 / 27 = 5 / e

Length of side e = 9 inches

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
