Question

In the image, shape is similar to shape . Find the measure of side .

Answer 1

10.5in

Explanation:

first we make a ratio of sides PO:CD

this is to give us the general length ratio between the two shapes

the ratio is 12:16

upon simplifying we get 3:4

now that we got our general ratio we have to create the ratio between DA and MP , MP:14

now we compare it to the general formula

3:4

MP:14

next we cross multiply

4MP=42

then solve for MP

=42/4

=10.5
