From his home, Sam would have to walk 5 miles north to get to his friend Hayley's house and 1 mile east to get to his friend Lexi's house. One day, Sam walked from his home to Lexi's house. Together, Lexi and Sam cut directly through the field that separated them from Hayley's house. When they finished playing at Hayley's, Sam walked back home. In all, how far did Sam walk?

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
