Each polygon pair is similar. Find the missing side length

I'll do problem 1 to get you started.

The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.

The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.

The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)

3/x = 15/60

3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply

180 = 15x

15x = 180

x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15

x = 12

----------

Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion

3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12

Or you could set up the proportion

60/15 = x/3

4 = x/3

x/3 = 4

x = 3*4

x = 12

-----------

<h3>Final Answer: 12</h3>

AfilCa [17]
<h3>Solution:</h3>

A line of symmetry is a figure that can be <u>divided</u> in 2 equal parts.

  • The first figure has 1 line of symmetry since it can be <u>divided</u> into 2 equal parts horizontally. (According to image)
  • The second figure has 1 line of symmetry since it can be <u>divided</u> into 2 equal parts. (According to image)

Answer:

616 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is equal to pi × r^2. In this case, they have asked that you substitute 3.14 or 22/7 for pi, so I will be using 22/7, instead.

Diameter is equal to 2r; to find the radius, simply divide 28 by two. This gives us a radius of 14.

Multiply 14 squared by 22/7:

(22/7)(14^2)

This gives us (22/7)(196); (4312/7); 616.

Therefore, the area of the circle is approximately 616 square centimeters.
