hartnn (hartnn):

since the polygons are similar, we just need the scale factor

hartnn (hartnn):

corresponding side to AB is SR so, AB : SR = ...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10/8 ?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, so this scale factor remains same for all the pairs of sides. CB and RQ are corresponding sides so CB : RQ = 10 :8 since you know CB, can you find RQ ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it half? If so, it would be 3.

hartnn (hartnn):

8 is not the half of 10, is it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

half of 6 .. half of 10= 5

hartnn (hartnn):

the ratio is 10 /8 so, CB/RQ = 10/8 RQ = CB*8/10 = 6*8/10 = ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.8

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, or 24/5 which option is equivalent to 24/5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B. 4 4/5 !
