Question

plss help Question: You may remember that a quadrilateral is a four-sided figure. There are many different kinds of quadrilaterals. On graph paper, draw a quadrilateral with one side that is 12 units long and another side that is 9 units long. Then reduce your quadrilateral so that the ratio of sides of new to original is 2 to 3. What are the new side lengths?​

Answer 1

• 8 units and 6 units

Explanation:

The dimensions of the original quadrilateral are:

• 12 units and 9 units

The scale factor is:

• k = 2/3

Corresponding sides of the new shape have the length:

• 12k = 12*2/3 = 8 units

and

• 9k = 9*2/3 = 6 units
