Question

Parallelogram ABCD is dilated to form parallelogram EFGH. Side BC is proportional to side CD. Which corresponding side is proportional to segment FG? Type the answer in the box below.

Answer 1

HELP PLEASE !

Answer 2

What is the corresponding side of BC on the parallelogram on the right?
What is the corresponding side of CD on the parallelogram on the right?

Answer 3

OF BC is AD and of CD is BA

Answer 4

We are comparing the bigger parallelogram to the smaller parallelogram. The smaller one is just a scaled down version of the bigger one. So BC gets scaled down to which side on the smaller parallelogram?

Answer 5

BC to FG

Answer 6

Yes. And CD to ?

Answer 7

GH

Answer 8

Yes. BC --> FG and CD --> GH
So if BC is proportional to CD on the bigger parallelogram, then FG will be proportional to GH on the smaller parallelogram.

Answer 9

yes ...

Answer 10

So GH is your answer.

Answer 11

Thank You so much @ranga i just needed help in two more questions ! U just helped me with this one can you help me with the last one ?

Answer 12

I will try one more.

Answer 13

I believe is A

Answer 14

@ranga

Answer 15

They are similar polygons. That means the corresponding sides in the two diagrams will be proportional.

AD / EH = BC / FG
x / 12 = 8 / 6
solve for x.

Answer 16

So its 12 ? @ranga

Answer 17

@ranga PLEASE ANSWER

Answer 18

You are just throwing out choices and eliminating them.

x / 12 = 8 / 6 is not a difficult equation to solve. Just multiply both sides by 12 and solve for x.

Answer 19

x=8/6*12=8*2=16
answer would be what? 16..!

Answer 20

GOT IT @ranga and @ziqbal103 THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!

Answer 21

welcome to you

Answer 22

And what if i had to find the value of Y ? @ziqbal103

Answer 23

Soory i just want to learn

Answer 24

oh my bad
y=8/6*12=8*2=16 answer

Answer 25

so you are checking me then i wrote wrong it would be x=18

Answer 26

No No No @ziqbal103 if we had to look for Y how we were going to get it
