Answer 1

Answer:

$y\text{ = 3}$

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of y

From the question, we have it that the two shapes are similar

When two shapes are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Thus, we have it that:

$\frac{AB}{CD}\text{ = }\frac{EF}{GH}$

Mathematically, that would be:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4.5}\text{ = }\frac{2}{y} \\ \\ 3\times\text{ y= 2}\times4.5 \\ y\text{ = }\frac{2\times4.5}{3} \\ \\ y\text{ =3} \end{gathered}$
