can someone help me on this
answer my question first ;^)
Similarity basically means that ratio of corresponding sides be same...
the larger ones measurements are 4 times that of the smaller
\[\frac{ 8 }{ y-2 }=\frac{ 16 }{ 4 }\] @leonardo0430
one side is 4 while the other side is 16, meaning the the big shape is 4 times bigger than the small shape, but i am having trouble picking the right answer
this is first step
^ would that be 2?
i know y, but not x
okay, we already know one4th of 8 is 2 so what minus 2 equals 2?
y-2=2
yes i know 4, it could be either A or D, but the part i dont get is X
okay, just read that you know y, that already narrows it down to only 2 possible answers
but isnt x-3 sid and 8 suppused to be the same sides?
because the rest of the lengths of the pentagon are even, i would assome x is even aswell, so 28???
could you explain how you got that answer?
the image is kind of weird, it may look even but it isnt necesarily accurate
that was a raw guess,
perhaps its like this, the smaller pentagon has values 2, 4, 6. the large one appears to have, 8,16, 24
oh i see your point, that does seem like a pattern thanks alot :)
so it actually might be 27, so x - 3 is 24
27-3, pardon
mathematics these days... gahhhhhh
thankyou for your help i get it now t i was stuck on this one for sometime hanks once again :)
no problem, glad i could help!!!
