ΔQVS is similar to ΔRTS
.
Solve x:
[tex] \dfrac{10}{6} = \dfrac{x}{8} [/tex]
6x = 80
x = 40/3
x = 13 1/3
Answer: x = 13 1/3
In the similar triangles ratios of corresponding sides should be equal, so
for triangles QVS and RTS
QV corresponds RT, and VS corresponds TS,so
QV/RT = VS/TS
10/6 = x/8
x=10*8/6=40/3 or 13.33.
