Answer:


\overline{AB}=28


\overline{BC}=17.5


x=13.2

Explanation:

Question 4

If quadrilateral PQRS is similar to quadrilateral ABCD, their corresponding sides are in the same ratio:


\overline{PQ} : \overline{AB} = \overline{QR} : \overline{BC} = \overline{RS} : \overline{CD} = \overline{SP}:\overline{DA}

From inspection of the two quadrilaterals, the given side lengths are:


\overline{PQ} = 8


\overline{QR} = 5


\overline{RS} = 6


\overline{SP} = 4


\overline{DA} = 14

Substitute these into the ratio equation:


8 : \overline{AB} = 5 : \overline{BC} = 6 : \overline{CD} = 4:14

Solve for AB:


8 : \overline{AB} = 4:14


\frac{8}{\overline{AB}}= (4)/(14)


8 \cdot 14=4 \cdot{\overline{AB}}


\overline{AB}=(8 \cdot 14)/(4)


\boxed{\overline{AB}=28}

Solve for BC:


5 : \overline{BC} = 4:14


5 \cdot 14=4 \cdot \overline{BC}


\overline{BC}=(5 \cdot 14)/(4)


\boxed{\overline{BC}=17.5}

Question 5

Assuming the two figures are similar, their corresponding sides are in the same ratio. Therefore:


x:6=11:5


(x)/(6)=(11)/(5)


x=(11 \cdot 6)/(5)


x=(66)/(5)


\boxed{x=13.2}

Answer:

AB = 28 , BC = 17.5 , X = 13.2

Explanation:

since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is


(AB)/(PQ) =
(AD)/(PS) ( substitute values )


(AB)/(8) =
(14)/(4) ( cross- multiply )

4 AB = 8 × 14 = 112 ( divide both sides by 4 )

AB = 28

and


(BC)/(QR) =
(AD)/(PS) ( substitute values )


(BC)/(5) =
(14)/(4) ( cross- multiply )

4 BC = 5 × 14 = 70 ( divide both sides by 4 )

BC = 17.5

similarly for the 2 similar figures


(x)/(6) =
(11)/(5) ( cross- multiply )

5x = 6 × 11 = 66 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 13.2
