A. 4.5 B. 7.5 C. 12 D. 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

has to be 16 since polygon ABCD is larger but similar to EFGH and EFGH's same line is 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's 12 because its x by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its definitely 16 because it has to be bigger than 12, and 16 is the only answer choice there thats larger than 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait yes, you are right. I just did the ratio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ye

Yeah. 8 to 6 is approx 1.3 12 * 1.3 = 15.6 which rounds to 16
