HELP ASAP:
A small triangle with one side length of a units is similar to a larger triangle with a corresponding side length of b units. Explain how to find the length of a second side of the larger triangle if you know its corresponding side of the smaller triangle had a length of c units. Write your explanation as if you are explaining the process to someone who doesn't have the knowledge of geometry

Answer:

Here's how I would do it.  

Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangles are similar, corresponding sides are in the same ratio.

We know the measures of b and a, so we can calculate the ratio b/a.

d and b are in the same ratio, so

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{d}{c}& = & \dfrac{b}{a}\\d & = & c \times \dfrac{b}{a}\\\end{array}[/tex]

We know the measures of c, b, and a, so we can calculate the value of d.
