The lengths in the figure are proportional.
In the first figure- 3 on top, and 2
on the bottom
In the second figure- 4 1/2 on top, and
x on the bottom
These are the choices that are written
on my assignment. One is the correct
answer.
A. 4 1/2
B. 3
C. 2 1/2
D. 2
I tried working this to be proportional
and keep coming up with answer (B) 3
Will you please help?
If I'm interpreting this correctly, then you can set up this way:
3/2 = 4.5/x -->4 1/2 is the same as 4.5
Cross multiply:
3x = 9
x = 3
Choice B looks to be the one!
I hope this helps and is what you were asking.
