Question

The polygons in each pair are similar. Find the missing side length / first one has 4 &x and second one has 12&18

Answer 1

x = 6

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.

`(4)/(12)=(x)/(18)`

Find x by cross multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.

4(18) = 12x

72 = 12x

6 = x
