To find the length of the missing side, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two similar figures.
Let x be the length of the missing side.
Using the given sides of the figures, we have:
5/6 = x/8
Cross multiply to solve for x:
5 * 8 = 6x
40 = 6x
x = 40 / 6
x = 6.67
Therefore, the length of the missing side is approximately 6.67.
The correct answer is not listed in the options provided.
The two figures are SIMILAR. Find the length of the missing side.
