Question

In the image, shape ABCD is similar to shape WXYZ. Find the measure of side ZW.

Answer 1

Solution:

we are given that

In the image, shape ABCD is similar to shape WXYZ.

we have been asked to find the measure of side ZW.

As we know that when two shapes are similar then the ratios of their corresponding sides are equal.

So we can write

$\frac{zw}{6}= \frac{18}{24}\\ \\ ZW=6*\frac{18}{24}\\ \\ ZW=\frac{18}{4}\\ \\ ZW=4.5$

Hence ZW=4.5 Inches.
