Question

Quadrilateral ABCD is similiar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 60 feet, 40 feet, and 30 feet long. If the two shortest sides of quadrilateral EFGH are 6 feet long and 12 feet long, how long is the 2nd longest side on quadrilateral EFGH?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

For ABCD the three longest are:

60,40,30

60 to 40 is 20

40 to 30 is 10

so each time it's decreasing by 1/2

For EFGH the two shortest are:

6 and 12

12 to 6 is 1/2

Assuming there is a pattern

it logically would be 24

as 12(2)=24
