Given that the two figures are similar, use a scale factor to find the missing length b.
Responses
A 8 mm8 mm
B 12 mm12 mm
C 16 mm16 mm
D 24 mm
32mm by 16 mm
other shape is 4mm b
To find the length of b, we need to determine the scale factor between the two figures.
The scale factor is determined by comparing the dimensions of the corresponding sides of the two figures. In this case, the dimensions are:
32 mm / 4 mm
This simplifies to a scale factor of 8.
To find the length of b, we multiply the length of b in the smaller figure by the scale factor:
4 mm x 8 = 32 mm
Therefore, the missing length b is 32 mm.
The correct answer is D) 32 mm.
