To find the missing side length in two similar figures using proportions, we compare the corresponding side lengths in both figures.
Let's say the length of the known side in the first figure is a and the length of the corresponding side in the second figure is b. The length of the missing side in the first figure is x, and we need to find the length of the corresponding side in the second figure.
We can set up a proportion using the known side lengths:
a / x = b / ?
To solve this proportion, we can cross multiply:
a * ? = b * x
Then, we can divide both sides by a:
? = (b * x) / a
So, the missing side length in the second figure, represented as ?, is equal to (b * x) / a.
Without knowing the values for a, b, and x, it is not possible to determine the missing side length.
