Question

Rectangle JKLM is similar to rectangle PQRS. Find the side of RS.

Answer 1

RS=3

Explanation:

To find RS, we have to first find the scale factor to get PQRS from JKLM.

We can see that KJ and QP are similar, and the scale factor is 1/2. We can check this by multiplying KL, 3, by 1/2 to get 1.5, which is QR.

So, multiply LM (which is similar to RS) by 1/2:

6 x 1/2 = 3

So, RS=3.

Hope this helps! :)
