Question

What is the missing length for this one?

Answer 1

The missing length is 8

Explanation:

Represent the missing length with x

The non-parallel sides of the given shape are directly proportional.

Mathematically:

3 to 6 and 4 to x

Represent as a ratio:

`3 : 6 = 4 : x`

Convert to fraction

`(3)/(6) = (4)/(x)`

Cross Multiply:

`3 * x = 6 * 4`

`3x = 24`

Divide through by 3

`x = (24)/(3)`

`x = 8`

The length of the missing side is 8
