Should we vote YES or NO on prop 17 WHY?

there's a couple of different ways you can set up the proportions you need to solve this. you could go from triangle to triangle, or you could go corresponding sides to corresponding sides. i will set up corresponding sides to corresponding sides first, then we can do it from triangle to triangle to show they are the same. from corresponding side to corresponding side the proportion looks like this: . cross multiply to get 8b = 80 and b = 10. the other way to set up the proportions would look like this: . again, cross multiply to get 8b = 80 and b = 10. see the difference?
