Answer:
x = 6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ratio of sides of similar figures = a : b , then
ratio of areas = a² : b²
Here ratio of areas = 5 : 45 = 1 : 9 , so
ratio of sides = :
= 1 : 3
Thus side of B is 3 times side of A
x = 3 × 2 = 6 cm
Answer:
y ≈ 4.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
6(y + 1) = 32
6y + 6 = 32 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
6y = 26 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y ≈ 4.3 ( to the nearest tenth )
