Sagot :

C. PR = 7 cm

1) Similarity of Triangles

When two triangles are similar we can state a proportionality, between their corresponding sides.

Hence, we write for PR

[tex]\frac{10}{5}=\frac{14}{x}[/tex]

Then we can cross multiply

10x = 14 x 5

10x =70

x= 7

PR = 7 cm

Note that the PQR triangle is twice smaller than the bigger one

So
