The length of the QR is 15.
Given:
ABC is congruent to triangle PQR
To find:
The length of QR.
Solution:
Consider triangle ABC and PQR.
Because the triangles are similar, corresponding angles are congruent and corresponding sides are proportional.
First, find the scale factor:
Since AC=12 and PR=18, the scale factor is found by dividing PR by AC
Scale factor = 12/18
Scale factor = 1.5
which means that the second triangle is 1.5 times as large as the first
Now use the same scale factor to find the length of QR:
QR = 1.5 * 10
QR = 15
Thus, the length of the QR is 15.
