Triangle GAP is similar to triangle DOT. GA is 4.4 inches long, AP is 8.3 inches long,OT is 24.9 inches long, and TD is 15.6 inches long. How long is GP

Respuesta :

Answer:

GP = 5.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, hence

[tex]\frac{GP}{DT}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AP}{DT}[/tex], that is

[tex]\frac{GP}{15.6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8.3}{24.9}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

24.9 GP = 8.3 × 15.6 ( divide both sides by 24.9 )

GP = [tex]\frac{18.3(15.6)}{24.9}[/tex] = 5.2
