EF = 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

If the quadrilaterals, ABCD and EFGH are similar their side lengths will be of the same ratio throughout.

Comparing the quadrilaterals, we have AB and EF are similar, BC and FG are similar, CD and GH are similar, DA and HE are similar.

So the ratio of all these sides will be equal.

Step 2:

\frac{AB}{EF} :\frac{BC}{FG} : \frac{CD}{GH} :\frac{DA}{HE} .

Of these lengths, we only have the values for AB, BC, CD, DA, GH, HE and need to determine the length of EF. By substituting the known values the ratio becomes;

\frac{5}{EF} :\frac{4}{12} :\frac{6}{18} .

\frac{5}{EF} : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{3} .

So EF = 3(5) = 15 cm. Which is the second option.

A cat requires a 3 mL injection of a 0.5% solution. How many milligrams will it receive per injection?
Kay [80]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 15mg

<h2>Why?</h2>

0.5% means that there are 0.5 grams per 100 mL,  and a 0.5 grams are equal to 500 milligrams.

So, to calculate how many milligrams will be received per injection, we need to make the following calculations:

3mL*\frac{500mg}{100mL}=15mg

Have a nice day!
