2:6 so simplify it 1:3. This means the scale ratio is 1:3 for the figures. To find w, sub in the 3 from the smaller figure to the ratio so 3×3=9, 3:9 w=9
Answer:
w = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the 2 polygons are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
[tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{w}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
2w = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )
