A quadrilateral’s smallest side measures 29 mm and its largest side measures 38 mm. A similar quadrilateral’s largest side measures 95 mm. What is the measure of its smallest side?(1 point)

Question

mm

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion with the corresponding sides of the two quadrilaterals.

Let x be the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral.

We can set up the proportion as follows:

29/38 = x/95

To solve for x, we cross multiply:

38 * x = 29 * 95

Dividing both sides by 38:

x = (29 * 95) / 38

Calculating this expression:

x = 73.42

Therefore, the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral is approximately 73.42 mm.

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect calculation. Let's try again:

To solve this problem, we can use the property of similar figures, which states that corresponding sides are proportional.

Let x be the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral.

We can set up the proportion as follows:

29/38 = x/95

To solve for x, we cross multiply:

29 * 95 = 38 * x

Dividing both sides by 38:

x = (29 * 95) / 38

Calculating this expression:

x = 72.37

Therefore, the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral is approximately 72.37 mm.

Answer 5

Apologies for the incorrect response again. Let's try solving the problem correctly:

To find the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral, we can set up a proportion using the given information.

Let x be the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral.

We can set up the following proportion:

29/38 = x/95

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

29 * 95 = 38 * x

Simplifying the expression:

2755 = 38x

Dividing both sides by 38:

x = 2755/38

Calculating this expression:

x ≈ 72.5

Therefore, the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral is approximately 72.5 mm.
