Question

Given polygon BRAIN is similar to polygon POWEQalculate the value of WE, BR, and EQ

Answer 1

A. WE = 5, BR = 11.25, EQ = 7
B. WE = 11.25, BR = 5, EQ = 7
C. WE = 5, BR = 7, EQ = 11.25
D. WE = 7, BR = 11.25, EQ = 5

Answer 2

i'm getting warnings from doing your work for you lol. so we have to do this together. find the ratio by finding two corresponding sides that have just numbers (BN and PQ) and divide them

Answer 3

so 10/4 = 2.5 ?

Answer 4

2:5

Answer 5

that's not the ratio. it's 2.5:1

Answer 6

ugh .. alright well now that that's cleared up , what step is next ?

Answer 7

still here ?

Answer 8

we have to find WE. WE = 2x + 1 which is similar to AI, 12.5

Answer 9

i am so confused

Answer 10

so divide 12.5 by 2.5 to get 5. so WE should = 5. so 2x + 1 = 5. solve for x

Answer 11

so D ?

Answer 12

no, we already established that WE = 5, so the answer would be either A or C

Answer 13

do you understand what i'm saying? or...?

Answer 14

i think it would be A

Answer 15

yes it is. sorry if i didn't explain it right. i guess you didn't need to solve for x, just use the ratio :/
