Question

parallelogram EFGH is similar to parallelogram WXYZ. What is the length of line WZ? Write the proportion of corresponding sides​

Answer 1

`WZ=6\ in`

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In his problem

`(WZ)/(EH)=(WX)/(EF)`

substitute the given values

`(WZ)/(3)=(10)/(5)`

solve for WZ

`(WZ)/(3)=2`

`WZ=3(2)=6\ in`
