Question

Instructions: The polygons in each pair are similar. Find the missing side length.

Answer 1

Answer:

45/27=30/18=x/24

x = 30×24/18

or, x = 40

Answer 2

Answer:

? = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the polygons are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{?}{24}$ = $\frac{?}{24}$ = $\frac{30}{18}$ ( cross- multiply )

18 ? = 720 ( divide both sides by 18 )

? = 40
