Solving Proportions
Since the ratios of any two corresponding sides of two similartriangles are equal, we can use these ratios to solve for thevalues of unknown sides.
Consider the case where ∆ABC ∼ ∆DEF .
If we know the ratio|AB||DE |
, and we know one of |AC | or
|DF |, then we can solve for the other value using the
proportion|AB||DE |
=|AC ||DF |
.
This can be done by inspection, or by usingcross-multiplication.
