OpenStudy (jameshorton):

that ur answer

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

thank you so much! how did you get that answer?

OpenStudy (jameshorton):

look for a corresponding side.. sides that are "similar" . how do the lengths compare?

OpenStudy (jameshorton):

the big trapezoid is 12 the small trapezoid is 6 . so the ratio is 12/6

OpenStudy (jameshorton):

reduce that ratio?

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):

so it would be 2/1?

OpenStudy (jameshorton):

yea

OpenStudy (dezandalf42714):
