The missing length d is 4 cm.
To determine the measure of the missing length d, we can set up a proportion since the two shapes are similar.
The ratio of corresponding sides in similar figures is constant.
The given sides are:
1cm/2cm =d/8cm
Now, we can solve for d by cross-multiplying:
2×d=1×8
2d=8
d= 8/2
d=4 cm
So, the missing length d is 4 cm.
Question
If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length d?
