If △ABC and △PQR in the below figure are similar, find the missing length x and the measure of ∠R
22 cm,20°
Consider △ABC Now, by the angle sum property of a triangle, ∠C=180−(∠A+∠B)=180−(100+60)=20°.
Given that △ABC∼△PQR , hence the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are in proportion.
Therefore, ∠C=∠R=20°
SInce sides are in proportion , we have
⟹ABPQ=BCQR
⟹1326=11x
⟹x=22 cm
