33. Missing length: 16
34. Missing length: 30
35. x=7
36. x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
31. The polygons are similar if:
WX/DA=XY/AB
Then:
WX/DA=24/6→WX/DA=4
XY/AB=16/4→XY/AB=4
Like WX/DA=4=XY/AB, the polygons WXYZ and DABC are similar
Scale Factor: S.F.=XY/DA=XY/AB→S.F.=4
32. The polygons are similar if:
GH/KL=HI/LM=IJ/MN=GJ/KN
Then:
GH/KL=6/9=(6/3)/(9/3)→GH/KL=2/3
HI/LM=4/6=(4/2)/(6/2)→HI/LM=2/3
IJ/MN=4/6=(4/2)/(6/2)→IJ/MN=2/3
GJ/KN=4/6=(4/2)/(6/2)→GJ/KN=2/3
Like GH/KL=HI/LM=IJ/MN=GJ/KN=4, the polygons GHIJ and KLMN are similar
Scale Factor: S.F.=GH/KL=HI/LM=IJ/MN=GJ/KN→S.F.=2/3
33. If the polygons are similar, their sides must be proportional, then:
x/24=10/15
Simplifying the fraction on the right sides of the equation, dividing the numerator ans denominator by 5:
x/24=(10/5)/(15/5)
Dividing:
x/24=2/3
Solving for x: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 24:
24(x/24)=24(2/3)
Multiplying:
x=8(2)
x=16
34. If the polygons are similar, their sides must be proportional, then:
54/63=(54/9)/(63/9)→54/63=6/7
48/56=(48/8)/(56/8)→48/56=6/7
x/35=6/7
Solving for x: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 35:
35(x/35)=35(6/7)
Multiplying:
x=5(6)
x=30
36. (8x-2)/63=42/49
Simplifying the fraction on the right sides of the equation, dividing the numerator ans denominator by 7:
(8x-2)/63=(42/7)/(49/7)
Dividing:
(8x-2)/63=6/7
Solving for x: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 63:
63(8x-2)63=63(6/7)
Multiplying:
8x-2=9(6)
8x-2=54
Adding 2 both sides of the equation:
8x-2+2=54+2
Adding:
8x=56
Dividing both sides of the equation by 8:
8x/8=56/8
Dividing:
x=7
37. (6x-6)/63=42/49=30/35
Simplifying the fractions
(6x-6)/63=(42/7)/(49/7)=(30/5)/(35/5)
Dividing:
(6x-6)/63=6/7
Solving for x: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 63:
63(6x-6)63=63(6/7)
Multiplying:
6x-6=9(6)
6x-6=54
Adding 6 both sides of the equation:
6x-6+6=54+6
Adding:
6x=60
Dividing both sides of the equation by 6:
6x/6=60/6
Dividing:
x=10
