A quadrilateral’s smallest side measures 29 mm and its largest side

Question

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

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion between the lengths of the sides of both quadrilaterals.

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 and then divide:

38x = 29 * 95

38x = 2755

x = 2755/38

x ≈ 72.5

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