Example 2. Given
A MNP - A HKG, MN = 6 , NP = 4, MP = 8
2022/04/09 13:16
a. Find all the sides of AHKG if the ratio of similarity is 1:3.
b. What are the measures of the other angles of the two triangles if mZP = 30 and mzK = 100?
Solution:
a. Since the corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional and the ratio of similarity is 1: 3B
then
MN NP MP
HK RG HG -3

ghk 3
Work with the three proportions separately.

KG
HG
h
g = (6)(3)
g = 18
Therefore, HK = 18 cm
h = (4)(3)
h = 12
KG = 12 cm
k = (8)(3)
k = 24
HG = 24 cm
b. Since ΔΜΝP-ΔΗKG and
ZP corresponds to zG, then ZP G. Therefore, mzG = 30.
ZK corresponds to zN, then zKE ZN. Therefore, mzN = 100.
Since the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180, and ZM corresponds to zH, then
mzM = mzH = 180 - (mzK + mzG).
Therefore, mZM = mzH = 180 - (100 + 30) = 50
