find the area of rectangleRSTU if it is similar to rectangleMNPQ and MN is 4 cm. and MQ is 3cm. while RS is 6cm.

Answer 1

The area of two similar figures is proportional to the squares of the their corresponding sides

So the area of MNPQ = 12
then
RSTU/12 = 6^2/4^2
....
let me know what you got.

Answer 2

i worked the equation and got 3/4 = x/6

Answer 3

RSTU/12 = 36/16
RSTU = 36/16(12) = 27

where does your equation 3/4 = x/6 come from?

Answer 4

from the corresponding sides of each rectangle

Answer 5

Ok, let's do it your way
RV/6 = 3/4
RV = 6(3/4) = 9/2

area of RSTU = (9/2)(6) = 27 , like I had

Answer 6

oh... thank you =]
