Question

Given: rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle ZBXY. If BC = 10, BX = 6, XY = 4, then CD =

Answer 1

cd=6 2/3 unis

Explanation:

Answer 2

`CD=6(2)/(3)\ units`

Explanation:

we know that

If rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle ZBXY

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal and is called the scale factor

so

`(BC)/(BX)=(CD)/(XY)`

in this problem we have

`BC=10\ units`

`BX=6\ units`

`XY=4\ units`

Substitute the values and solve for CD

`(10)/(6)=(CD)/(4)`

`CD=4*10/6`

`CD=20/3=6(2)/(3)\ units`
