Answer 1

lemme help :)

Answer 2

okay, thanks!

Answer 3

We can set up a proportion to find the same shape.

30/24 = 18/x

x stands for how wide in cm.

30/24 = 18/x

Cross multiply

30*x = 30x
24*18 = 432

432 = 30x

30x/30 = 432/30

x= 14.4

Answer: The width should be 14.40 cm wide.

Answer 4

\(\bf \cfrac{30}{18}=\cfrac{24}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{72}{5}\implies x=14.4\)
