Question

Given that quadrilateral PQRS~ quadrilateral TUVW, write a proportion to find the length of PS. U P X S 35 R 20 25 W T 15​

Answer 1

x = 21

Explanation:

As the quadrilaterals are similar, their corresponding sides will be in the same proportion.

PS ~ TW and SR ~ WV

`\sf (PS)/(SR) = (TW)/(WV)\\\\(x)/(35)=(15)/(25)\\\\ x = (15)/(25)*35\\\\ x = 3*7\\\\x = 21`
