Question

If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length d?

Answer 1

d = 88 inches

Explanation:

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

`(d)/(55)` =
`(16)/(10)` = 1.6 ( multiply both sides by 55 to clear the fraction )

d = 55 × 1.6 = 88 inches
