2. They're trying to trick you here.....hoping that you will choose 18 : 555.....unfortunately....that's not correct...we need to compare like units.... namely, feet.....18 in = 1.5 ft....so.....
1.5 : 555 = 1 : x set up as two fractions
1.5 / 555 = 1 / x cross-multiply
1.5x = 555 divide both sides by 1.5
x = 370
So.... 1 : 370 is correct
3. Δ HTM is similar to Δ MTA is similar to Δ HMA
555/1.5 = 370 1:370
b) they are all right triangles they all have AM as one leg
