)) If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length v? 4 in 1 in/ v 3 in
To determine the missing length v, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two similar shapes.
Since the shapes are similar, the ratios of corresponding side lengths will be equal.
In this case, we can set up the following proportion:
4 in / 1 in = v / 3 in
To solve for v, we can cross-multiply:
4 in * 3 in = 1 in * v
12 in^2 = v
Therefore, the missing length v is 12 inches.
) If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length x? X 12 cm/ 1 cm 6 cm
To find the missing length x, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two similar shapes.
Since the shapes are similar, the ratios of corresponding side lengths will be equal.
In this case, we can set up the following proportion:
x / 12 cm = 1 cm / 6 cm
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
x * 6 cm = 12 cm * 1 cm
6x cm = 12 cm^2
To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6 cm:
x = 12 cm^2 / 6 cm
x = 2 cm
Therefore, the missing length x is 2 centimeters.
)) If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length u? u 2 ft / 5 ft 1 ft
To determine the missing length u, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two similar shapes.
Since the shapes are similar, the ratios of corresponding side lengths will be equal.
In this case, we can set up the following proportion:
u / 2 ft = 1 ft / 5 ft
To solve for u, we can cross-multiply:
u * 5 ft = 2 ft * 1 ft
5u ft = 2 ft^2
To isolate u, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5 ft:
u = 2 ft^2 / 5 ft
u = 0.4 ft
Therefore, the missing length u is 0.4 feet.
Ehh wrong
Apologies for the error. Let's try again:
To find the missing length u, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two similar shapes.
Since the shapes are similar, the ratios of corresponding side lengths will be equal.
In this case, we can set up the following proportion:
u / 2 ft = 1 ft / 5 ft
To solve for u, we can cross-multiply:
u * 5 ft = 2 ft * 1 ft
5u ft = 2 ft
To isolate u, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 ft:
u = 2 ft / 5
u = 0.4 ft
Therefore, the missing length u is 0.4 feet or 4.8 inches (since there are 12 inches in a foot).
