If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length u?
(Smaller triangle length: 60, 10 mm)
(Bigger triangle length: 66 mm, u)
To determine the measure of the missing length u, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the similar triangles:
60/10 = 66/u
Cross multiplying, we get:
60u = 660
Dividing by 60 on both sides, we get:
u = 660/60
u = 11
Therefore, the missing length u is 11 mm.
