If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length c?
(Bigger triangle length: 30, 6mi)
(Smaller triangle length: 20mi, y)
To find the missing length c, we can set up a proportion between the corresponding sides of the two similar triangles:
30/20 = 6/c
Cross multiply to solve for c:
30c = 120
c = 4
Therefore, the missing length c is 4 miles.
