Math Problem Statement

Triangle DEF is similar to triangle GHI. Find the measure of side HI. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. D E F G H I 13 18 53

Solution

To solve for the measure of side HIHI, we can use the fact that triangles DEF\triangle DEF and GHI\triangle GHI are similar. This means their corresponding sides are proportional.

Let's break it down:

Given the corresponding sides of two similar triangles, we have the proportion:

DEGH=EFHI=DFGI\frac{DE}{GH} = \frac{EF}{HI} = \frac{DF}{GI}

Now, we need more specific information, such as the lengths of the sides or some of the angles in both triangles, to set up the correct ratio and solve for HIHI. It seems like you might have forgotten to mention the side lengths of either triangle.

Could you clarify the side lengths of triangle DEF and the corresponding sides in triangle GHI?
