Complexity=5, Mode=triangle

Find the value of 'n'.

#ProblemCorrect AnswerYour Answer
1 n =
Solution
The two triangles are similar because all their angles are the same but their side lengths are different. This means their corresponding sides are proportional.

Use corresponding sides to create a proportion.
