Use proportions to find the missing side length ( x ) in the two similar figures.(1 point)Responses9.99 yards9.99 yards16.92 yards16.92 yards4 yards 4 yards 1.05 yards
To find the missing side length, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two similar figures.
Let x represent the missing side length:
9.99 yards / 16.92 yards = x / 4 yards
Cross multiply:
9.99 * 4 = 16.92x
39.96 = 16.92x
Divide by 16.92:
x = 39.96 / 16.92
x ≈ 2.36 yards
Therefore, the missing side length is approximately 2.36 yards.
that not the answer
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try that again:
Let x represent the missing side length:
9.99 yards / 4 yards = 16.92 yards / x
Cross multiply:
9.99 * x = 4 * 16.92
9.99x = 67.68
Divide by 9.99:
x = 67.68 / 9.99
x ≈ 6.77 yards
Therefore, the missing side length is approximately 6.77 yards.
