Tiyane makes a scale drawing of the parallelogram. The longer side of the parallelogram is 22.5 inches in her drawing. What is the length of the parallelogram’s shorter side in Tiyane’s scale drawing? 9 inch hight 5 inch width
If the height is 9 inches and the width is 5 inches, then the ratio of the longer side to shorter side is 22.5:5. To find the length of the shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing, we can set up a proportion:
22.5 / 5 = x / 9
Now we can solve for x:
x = (9 * 22.5) / 5
x = 202.5 / 5
x = 40.5
Therefore, the length of the shorter side in Tiyane's scale drawing is 40.5 inches.
