    Heh am I doing your homework?

    Okay. By knowing that WA || CH we know that ACH (angle) = WAC (angle) and we also know WHC (angle) = HWA (angle). Also we know WTA (angle) = CTH (angle) because they intersect at point T. This means that the triangles are made up of the same angles the lengths just have different ratios. for example (throwing random numbers out there) the ratio was 1:2 (throwing random numbers out here) and the sides of the little triangle was 3, 5, 7, the big triangles would be 6, 10, 14. anyway 3*10 = 5 * 6 or 30 = 30.

    uhm give me a second and I can include a picture if you don't understand what I am saying (And I just added random numbers that is a ratio, in the problem you are multiplying 2 sides (that are not ratios of each other))

    thank you, its seems ima have to work quite a bit if i want the advanced regents diploma.

    i found the teacher scoring sheet and it included wt/ht = at/ct.

    Yeah if you rewrite it to wt/ht = at/ct (just moving it around so you got one triangle on each side) you will be left with something like 3/5 = 6/10 using the random numbers i used in my example
