Answer:
t = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
for this problem we have two different shapes, what we need to do is find out the proportional relationship between the two to solve for t, lets take one of the measurements from the smaller shape, we will go with... JK at 5
now all we need to do is divide that by the larger shapes same side, in this case that would be RP at 22.5, heres what that looks like so far
5 / 22.5 = 0.2-> (the two goes on forever, normally this is represented by a line above the infinite number, this is what they call a Repeating Decimal)
ok, so now that we have the rate of change between the two shapes figured out, now we just make the same change to the last side from the same side on the first shape, wich is LK to QR as shown
1.5 * 0.2-> = 0.3->
and if 0.3 is = to 1/3, so t = 1/3
i hope this helped you out, im sorry if im a little late lol, make note that all of this can be applied to similar situations, just figure out the change(s) that happened from one shape to the other, and make that same change on the unknown side or area
take care :D
