Answer:
9 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that length of smaller side is x.
We have been given that the sides of a quadrilateral are 3, 4, 5, and 6. We are asked to find the length of the shortest side of a similar quadrilateral whose area is 9 times as great.
We know that sides of similar figures are proportional. When the proportion of similar sides of two similar figures is , then the proportion of their area is
.
We can see that length of smaller side of 1st quadrilateral is 3 units, so we can set a proportion as:
Take positive square root as length cannot be negative:
Therefore, the length of the shortest side of the similar quadrilateral would be 9 units.
