Section 6.4 Homework Hints

Problems 9-20
See Figure 6.39. Be sure to orient the corresponding parts before answering.

For Problems 9-14, list the corresponding parts.

For Problems 15-20, list the corresponging parts and then find the lengths of the missing sides.

For example, in Problem 15, triangle ABC is similar to triangleDEF, so the length of segments AB to DE is proportional to the length of segments AC to DF. This means that the length DE must be 22 units. Similarly, the length of EF is 10 units. Now, you can list the lengths of all six parts.
