The large triangle and the smaller triangle are similar, because they have angles with the same measures.

Use corresponding parts of the two triangles to set up a proportion to solve the problem.

10%2F%289%2B8%29=6%2Fm

Solve using basic algebra....

In the large triangle, the length of the side opposite angle a is 9+8; in the small triangle, the length of the side opposite angle a is 10.
