oh it isn't wat does it say

Answer 10

got it.

if the pictures are similar, you can just set up a proportion. What do you think the answer is?

Answer 11

umm...

Answer 12

Im not sure really

Answer 13

If the proportions of each side have to be the same, then
\[\frac{B}{A} = \frac{D}{C} \]

Answer 14

mhm..

man I just need the answer:(

Answer 24

well I'm not given it to ya :) yuuz ya brainz!
A/B is the relationship between the short side of the original picture to the long side of the original picture.
D/C is the relationship between the short side of enlarged picture to the large side of the enlarged picture.
\[ \frac{A}{B} = \frac{C}{D}
\\ \
\\ \frac{A}{B} D = C\]
You're looking for C

Answer 25

ok

Answer 26

this problem is hard

Answer 27

It takes a few steps, yep :)

Answer 28

I know

Answer 29

but I don't get it

Answer 30

So when I say "A/B is the relationship between the short side, A, and the long side, B," I mean

\[ \frac{A}{B} = \frac{2}{5} \]
The length of the short side divided by the length of the long side. That gives you a number (.4 in this case). For the enlarged drawing to have the same proportions as the original drawing, "C\D - the relationship between C, the short side of the enlarged drawing, and D, the long side of the enlarged drawing," ha to equal that same number. That's what similarity of rectangles is defined as :)

Does that make sense?
