Answer:

The distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars is 20 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have drawn the diagram four reference.

Given:

the slide is 12 feet due west of the tire swing

So according the diagram;

TS = 12 feet

Also Given:

slide is 16 feet due south of the monkey bars.

So according the diagram;

MS = 16 feet

We need to find the distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars.

according to diagram we need to find the MT.

Solution:

assuming it to be right angle triangle with right angle at S.

we have;

In Δ MTS;

\angle S = 90\°

TS = 12 feet

MS = 16 feet

Now applying Pythagoras theorem which states that;

"Sum of the square of the two side of the triangle is equal to square of the hypotenuse."

framing in equation form we get;

MT^2=TS^2+MS^2

Substituting the values we get;

MT^2= 12^2+16^2= 144+256 =400

Taking square root on both side we get;

\sqrt{MT^2}=\sqrt{400} \\ \\MT =20\ ft

Hence the distance between the tire swing and the monkey bars is 20 feet.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Hence the correct option is 3rd option. 40

Step-by-step explanation:

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of the corresponding sides is proportional.

\frac{15}{30} =\frac{20}{n} \\\\n=\frac{30 \times 20}{15} \\\\n= 40.

How to solve stacked similar figures
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can identify similar polygons by comparing their corresponding angles and sides. As you see in the following figure, quadrilateral WXYZ is the same shape as quadrilateral ABCD, but it’s ten times larger (though not drawn to scale, of course). These quadrilaterals are therefore similar.

similar polygons: For two polygons to be similar, both of the following must be true:

Corresponding angles are congruent.

Corresponding sides are proportional.

To fully understand this definition, you have to know what corresponding angles and corresponding sides mean. (Maybe you’ve already figured this out by just looking at the figure.) Here’s the lowdown on corresponding. In the figure, if you expand ABCD to the same size as WXYZ and slide it to the right, it’d stack perfectly on top of WXYZ.
