To find the missing side, we can set up a proportion between the corresponding sides of the two similar rectangles:
(16 ft) / (10 ft) = (n) / (8 ft)
Cross multiplying, we get:
10n = 16 * 8
10n = 128
n = 128 / 10
n = 12.8 ft
Therefore, the missing side n is 12.8 ft.
(16 ft) / (10 ft) = (n) / (8 ft)
Cross multiplying, we get:
10n = 16 * 8
10n = 128
n = 128 / 10
n = 12.8 ft
Therefore, the missing side n is 12.8 ft.
