Answer 1

eq=43.75

Answer 2

how do you know that

Answer 3

sorry, eq is wrong --I reversed the order--I will be back in 2 minutes with all of the answers and an explanation

Answer 4

k thanks

Answer 5

ok here is the story

we need to find the ratio or proportions between the dies of similar polygons
so if we find 2 corresponding sides that each have a fixed valu, we can then see how much larger or smaller each side is to the corresponing side of the other similar polygon

so let's take bn and pq at the bottom of the two polygons

the bigger one--bn--is 10 and the corresponing side of the smaller one--pq--is 4

so the bigger one will always have sides that are bigger than the smaller one by a factor of 10/4 or 2.5

and the smaller one will always have sides that are smaller than the bigger one by a factor of 4/10 or 0.4

so we=5
br=11.25
eq=7

Answer 6

\[WE \div4 = 12.5 \div 10\]so
WE = 5
Just build ratios for each.

Answer 7

thank you
