sides of similar figures QuickChek use proportions to find the missing side length X and the two similar figures
To find the missing side length (X) of two similar figures using proportions, you need to compare the corresponding side lengths of the two figures and set up a proportion equation.
Let's say we have two similar figures: figure 1 and figure 2. The corresponding side lengths of the two figures are labeled as a, b, c, and x (where x is the missing side length).
The proportion equation to find X would be:
(a/ b) = (c / x)
To solve for X, you can cross multiply and solve for x:
a * x = b * c
x = (b * c) / a
By using this method, you can find the missing side length (X) of two similar figures.
