The polygons below are similar. Find the value of z. Polygons ABCD and EFGH are shown. AB equals 6. BC equals 8. CD equals 10. AD equals x. EF equals y. FG equals 6. GH equals z. HE equals 12. 4.5 7.5 12 16

OpenStudy (gorv):

for similar polygon ratio of corresponding sides will be equal

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\frac{ 8 }{ 6 }=\frac{ 10 }{ z }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8/6 = 10/8?

OpenStudy (gorv):

corresponding sides

OpenStudy (gorv):

their is a large difference in z and 8...i typed z

OpenStudy (anonymous):
