This problem asks about how to find a missing side given that we have similar triangles.
00:08
Now, in the problem that was shared, no specific numbers were given.
00:16
So i just drew a couple of similar triangles and made up some numbers.
00:21
And we're going to discuss the process of finding missing side links on similar triangles.
00:28
When we do this, we have any kind of similar shapes, we can set up a proportion.
00:33
And so i like to draw the two shapes next to one another and then set up a proportion for the sides.
00:43
So for my little triangle, i would say, hey, two over here corresponds to 10 over here.
00:52
So the way i set up my proportion is i say the side in the little triangle over the side in the big triangle is equal to i'm doing little triangle over big triangle.
01:06
So i would say 2 over 10 is equal to the corresponding sides 3 over x...
