6 is the answer, because 48/6=8

Sutton · Answer 2

Triangle 1:

Side a - 8yd

Side b - 15 yd

Side c - 17 yd

Triangle 2:

Side a - 48 yd

Side b - 90 yd

Side c - 102 yd

Take the equivalent side from each triangle and divide Triangle 1's side by Triangle 2's side.

T1Sa/T2Sa = 8yd/48yd = 1/6

T1Sb/T2Sb = 15yd/90yd = 1/6

T1Sc/T2Sc = 17yd/102yd = 1/6
