Answer:

The missing length would be 24.

First, you find the ratio of 55 to 33.

This gets you approximately 1.66666667

Multiply 36 by 1.66666667. This will get you 60.

60 - 36 = 24

The unknown value is 24.

The missing length would be 24.

What is similarity in triangles?

Two triangles will be similar if the angles are equal (corresponding angles) and sides are in the same ratio or proportion(corresponding sides). Similar triangles may have different individual lengths of the sides of triangles but their angles must be equal and their corresponding ratio of the length of the sides must be the same. If two triangles are similar that means,

  • All corresponding angle pairs of triangles are equal.
  • All corresponding sides of triangles are proportional.

From figure,

BT/ RT = CT/ST

33/ 55= 36/ ST

ST= 60

Now,

SC= ST- 36

SC= 60-36

SC= 24

Hence, the missing length is 24.
