Question

I need help with proportions of a figure, can anybody help me.

Answer 1

The two polygons are similar, so the side parallel to the other side must have a 'rule'.

For instance, 16/12 = ?

Answer 2

I don't get what you mean. My guess is 8, but I have to show the work.

Answer 3

I meant my guess is 9.

Answer 4

What's 16/12?

Answer 5

1.33333333...

Answer 6

Alright. What about 32/24?

Answer 7

1.33333333333...

Answer 8

Alright. So it's safe to assume that the rule between the polygon on the left and the polygon on the right is 1.3 repeating time.
Therefore, (x-1) times 1.3 repeating should give us 6.

Answer 9

So, would the answer be 9.

9-1=8
8/6=1.33333333...

Answer 10

Opps, my bad. The other way.

Answer 11

So do I have it right, if so thank you so much for the help.

Answer 12

Yeah, you're right. Good job!

Answer 13

Thanks for your help.

Answer 14

No problem, that's why I'm here. :)

Now I have to do my own homework. >_>
