Question

Given: rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle ZBXY. If BC = 10, BX = 6, XY = 4, then CD =

Answer 1

Answer:

$CD=6\frac{2}{3}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle ZBXY

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal and is called the scale factor

so

$\frac{BC}{BX}=\frac{CD}{XY}$

in this problem we have

$BC=10\ units$

$BX=6\ units$

$XY=4\ units$

Substitute the values and solve for CD

$\frac{10}{6}=\frac{CD}{4}$

$CD=4*10/6$

$CD=20/3=6\frac{2}{3}\ units$

Answer 2

Answer:

cd=6 2/3 unis
