A quadrilateral smallest side measures 29MM and it’s largest side measures 38 MM. A similar quadrilaterals largest side measures 95 MM. What is the measure of the smallest side?

Answer 1

Since the two quadrilaterals are similar, we can set up a proportion to solve for the measure of the smallest side in the second quadrilateral.
Let x be the measure of the smallest side in the second quadrilateral.
According to the proportion, we have:
x/95 = 29/38
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 95, we get:
x = 29/38 * 95
Simplifying, we find:
x = 2275/38
x ≈ 59.87
Therefore, the measure of the smallest side in the second quadrilateral is approximately 59.87 MM.
