SOLUTION: assume triangle abc is similar to fgh with median ap and fq to both sides bc and gh respectively, ab=9 and fg=6 if ap is 4 greater than fq find both medians

Question 1206535: assume triangle abc is similar to fgh with median ap and fq to both sides bc and gh respectively, ab=9 and fg=6 if ap is 4 greater than fq find both medians

Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

ab and fg are corresponding sides, so the ratio of similarity is 9:6 = 3:2.

The lengths of the medians are linear measurements, so the ratio ap:fq = 3:2. Since ap is 4 greater than fq....

ANSWERS: ap=12; fq=8
