Triangle CDE ~ Triangle PQR. CD = 9m EC = 15m PQ = 15m What is the length of RP?
9 m
25 m
0.6 m
30 m
Since Triangle CDE ~ Triangle PQR, the corresponding sides are proportional.
CD/PQ = EC/RP
Substituting the given values:
9/15 = 15/RP
Cross multiplying:
9 * RP = 15 * 15
RP = (15 * 15) / 9
RP = 225 / 9
RP ≈ 25 m
Therefore, the length of RP is approximately 25 m.
