Quadrilateral HOME is similar to quadrilateral TRAP. Complete the statements below with the missing angle measures. Show work or explain your answer.
𝑚∠M = ___
HOME TRAP
O= 124 A= 47
T= 79
E=110
Since the quadrilaterals HOME and TRAP are similar, the corresponding angles are proportional.
The missing angle measure, m∠M, corresponds to angle A in quadrilateral TRAP.
So, m∠M = 47.
Quadrilateral HOME is similar to quadrilateral TRAP. Complete the statements below with the missing angle measures. Show work or explain your answer.
𝑚∠R = ___
HOME TRAP
O= 124 A= 47
T= 79
E=110
In similar quadrilaterals, corresponding angles are equal.
Since angle R in quadrilateral HOME corresponds to angle T in quadrilateral TRAP, we have:
m∠R = m∠T = 79.
Therefore, m∠R = 79.
Quadrilateral WORD is similar to quadrilateral BANK. What is the length of segment KN?
WORD BANK
BK=4cm
WD=10cm
DR=16cm
Since the quadrilaterals WORD and BANK are similar, the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal.
The ratio of corresponding sides WK/WB = OD/BA = RD/KN
From the given information:
WD = 10 cm and DR = 16 cm => WR = 26 cm (WD + DR)
Now, we can set up the proportion:
(10 + KN)/4 = 26/KN
Solving for KN:
10 + KN = (26*4)/KN
KN^2 + 10KN = 104
KN^2 + 10KN - 104 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation, we get:
KN = 8 cm (K = 8cm - N = 4cm) or KN = -13 (not valid in this context)
Therefore, the length of segment KN is 8 cm.
Given:`∆`COT ~`∆`CAN; Segment CN is equal to 21 inches.
a) Set up a proportion to represent the relationship between the corresponding sides of these triangles to find the length of segment OT.
Since the triangles ∆COT and ∆CAN are similar, the ratio of corresponding sides will be equal.
Let x be the length of segment OT.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
OT/CN = CT/CA
Substitute the given values:
x/21 = CT/CA
Now, we need to find the ratio of the sides CT and CA. Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of corresponding sides will hold:
CT/CA = OT/CN
Substitute the known values:
CT/21 = x/21
Solving for CT:
CT = x
Therefore, the proportion representing the relationship between the corresponding sides is x/21 = x/21.
b) What is the length of segment OT?
From the established proportion:
x/21 = x/21
Cross multiplying:
21x = 21x
Since this equation is true for all values of x, it means that x could be any value, or in other words, it is not possible to determine the length of segment OT with only the given information.
