Two similar rectangles abcd and wxyz showing ab=4cm.wx=5cm,xy=9cm.find the other corresponding sides.

impatient much?

Did you know?

Did you know that in similar rectangles, corresponding sides are proportional? For example, if we have two rectangles ABCD and WXYZ, and we know that AB = 4 cm and WX = 5 cm, we can find the lengths of the other corresponding sides. If XY is 9 cm, we can calculate the length of CD by setting up a proportion: AB/XY = CD/WX. Plugging in the given values, we get 4/9 = CD/5. By cross-multiplying, we find that CD is approximately 2.22 cm. Similarly, we can find the length of YZ by setting up another proportion: XY/WX = YZ/AB. Substituting the given values, we get 9/5 = YZ/4. Solving for YZ, we find that YZ is approximately 7.2 cm. So, knowing just a few lengths, we can determine the measurements of other corresponding sides in similar rectangles.
