Step-by-step explanation:
If you flip the polygon on the right so it looks like the polygon on the left, the scale factor for the small polygon to the big polygon is 32/40 or 4/5.
Now use that scale factor, 4/5, to find the missing length
4/5 = ?/15
5*3 = 15 so 4*3 = ?
? = 12
20/4*3=15
28/4*3=22
Therefore, you do the same for the 16.
16/4*3=12
So the missing side equals 12.
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides measuring 20 and 15 are corresponding sides.
The sides measuring 16 and ? are corresponding sides.
20/15 = 16/?
20? = 15 * 16
20? = 240
? = 12
24
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the missing side, write a proportion using side lengths from each similar shape. A proportion is an equation that sets equal two ratios.
[tex]\frac{40}{48}=\frac{20}{y}[/tex]
Find y by cross multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.
40y = 48(20)
40y = 960
y = 24

C)1 : 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure.
The scat factor is given by:
image length: corresponding object length
This time the smaller shape is the image and the bigger shape is the object:
The scale factor is :
6:12
Divide each term of the ratio by 6 to get:
1:2
Greetings from Brasil...
It is said that polygons are similar, so we can use the expression of similarity.
BIG/small = BIG/small
35/14 = 25/X
X = 10
But the scale factor is questioned. Just use one of the expressions. We conclude that the largest is 2.5 times the value of the smallest
35/14 OR 40/16 OR 25/10
We get 2.5x-----------------------------------------------------------
BIG/small = BIG/small
25/5 = 40/Y
Y = 8
25/5 OR 25/5 OR 40/8
We get 5xtimes the value of the smallest

[tex]\frac{4}{12}=\frac{x}{18}[/tex]
Find x by cross multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.
4(18) = 12x
72 = 12x
6 = x
