QuestionIf AFGDRH\triangle \mathrm{AFG} \sim \triangle \mathrm{DRH}, find the missing value in DRAF=DH\frac{D R}{A F}=\frac{D H}{\square}. Choices: HD, AH, AG.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. AFGDRH\triangle AFG \sim \triangle DRH means that triangle AFG is similar to triangle DRH. . In similar triangles, the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal.
3. We are given that DRAF=DH\frac{DR}{AF} = \frac{DH}{\square}, and we are asked to find the value of \square for each of the options HD, AH, AG.

STEP 2

First, let's consider the option HD. We substitute HD for \square in the given ratio.
DRAF=DHHD\frac{DR}{AF} = \frac{DH}{HD}

STEP 3

In this case, the ratio DHHD\frac{DH}{HD} simplifies to1, because any number divided by itself equals1.
DRAF=1\frac{DR}{AF} =1

STEP 4

This implies that DR = AF, because any number multiplied by1 equals the number itself.

STEP 5

Next, let's consider the option AH. We substitute AH for \square in the given ratio.
DRAF=DHAH\frac{DR}{AF} = \frac{DH}{AH}

STEP 6

In this case, we can't simplify the ratio DHAH\frac{DH}{AH}, because DH and AH are sides of different triangles. So, we can't find a specific numerical value for \square.

STEP 7

Finally, let's consider the option AG. We substitute AG for \square in the given ratio.
DRAF=DHAG\frac{DR}{AF} = \frac{DH}{AG}

STEP 8

In this case, we can't simplify the ratio DHAG\frac{DH}{AG}, because DH and AG are sides of different triangles. So, we can't find a specific numerical value for \square.
In conclusion, the only option for which we can find a specific value for \square is HD, for which \square equals AF.
