Question

Suppose you are given two quadrilaterals, ABCD~ EFGH. If the similarity ratio of ABCD to EFGH is 5:3 and EH = 60, find AD.

Answer 1

Lengths of corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion.

ABCD~ EFGH means that AD is to EH as 5 is to 3 because 5:3 is the ratio of corresponding sides.

AD/EH = 5/3

EH = 60

So, the proportion becomes AD/60 = 5/3. Cross multiply and solve for AD.

Post what you get.
