Question

Polygons PQRST and VWXYZ are similar. If PQ = 5 feet, QR = 11 feet, RS = 2 feet, ST = 7 feet, TP = 3 feet, and XY = 8 feet, then what is the length of WX?

Answer 1

Answer:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

=  , substitute values

=  ( cross-  multiply )

8XY = 32 ( divide both sides by 8 )

XY = 4 feet → D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

From the above sorted data,

The ratio of each side of the polygons is 1 : 4

WX pairs with QR

Therefore, value of WX is QR * 4 = 44ft

Similarly,

VW =20ft

YZ =28ft

ZW =12ft
