If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length w?
18 cm
3 cm
6 cm

Answer:
w = x = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
In the largest triangle, the longest side is x
The shortest side = 18
In the smaller triangle the longest side is 6
The shortest side is 3
You can set up a ratio
x/18 = 6/3 Divide the right side by 3
x/18 = 2 Multiply both sides by 18
18 *x / 18 = 2 * 18
x = 36
