Question

The ratio of similarity between two figures is 4/3.If one side of the largerfigure is 12 cm long,what is the lengthof corresponding side in the smallet figure?

Answer 1

Answer:

The corresponding side in the smaller figure is 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that you can use proportions to solve this problem:

The ratio from large image to smaller is: Larger/smaller = 4/3.

Therefore use this type of proportions to find the length of the corresponding side to 12 cm in the smaller figure:

$\frac{4}{3} =\frac{12 \,cm }{smaller} \\smaller\,(\frac{4}{3}) = 12\,cm\\smaller=\frac{3* 12\,cm}{4} \\smaller=\frac{36\,cm}{4} \\smaller=9\,cm$

Answer 2

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

also, you meant smaller not smallet right

4/3=12/x

x=9
