Question

Pentagons ABCDF and JKLMN below are similar, but not necessarily drawn to scale. Find the values of x and y. A x = 40 mm, y = 150 mm B x = 1.6 mm, y = 6 mm C x = 40 mm, y = 6 mm D x = 24 mm, y = 14 mm Find the values of x and y. A x = 40 mm, y = 150 mm B x = 1.6 mm, y = 6 mm C x = 40 mm, y = 6 mm D x = 24 mm, y = 14 mm

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete, but I would show you how to answer a similar question.

We can say that polygons are similar if they have the same shape but not necessary same size. Also their corresponding angles are equal, while their corresponding sides are proportional.

From the image attached, we can see the lengths of the sides, hence we can find the values of x.

$\frac{JN}{AE}=\frac{LM}{CD}\\ \\\frac{4.8}{4}=\frac{x}{3}\\ \\1.2=x/3\\\\x=3.6$
