The polygons in each pair are similar. Find the missing side length / first one has 4 &x and second one has 12&18
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the missing side, write a proportion using side lengths from each similar shape. A proportion is an equation that sets equal two ratios.
[tex]\frac{4}{12}=\frac{x}{18}[/tex]
Find x by cross multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.
4(18) = 12x
72 = 12x
6 = x
