Question

Find the missing side length in the image attached.

Answer 1

56

Explanation:

We can find the missing side length through ratios.

20/35 = 32/x

Cross multiply.

20x = 35(32)

20x = 1120

x = 1120/20

x = 56

Answer 2

? = 56.

Explanation:

In the problem, the side 20 corresponds to side 32 and side 20 + 35 corresponds to side 32 + ?.

`(20)/(32) =(20 + 35)/(? + 32)`

`(5)/(8) =(55)/(? + 32)`

`(1)/(8)=(11)/(? + 32)`

? + 32 = 8 * 11

? + 32 = 88

? = 56.

Hope this helps!
