Question

Instructions: The polygons in each pair are similar. Find the
missing side length.

Answer 1

? = 40

Explanation:

Since the polygons are similar then the corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

`(?)/(24)` =
`(?)/(24)` =
`(30)/(18)` ( cross- multiply )

18 ? = 720 ( divide both sides by 18 )

? = 40

Answer 2

45/27=30/18=x/24

x = 30×24/18

or, x = 40
