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

Answer 1

To find the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral, we can set up a proportion based on the ratio of corresponding sides.

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

Using the proportion:

38 mm / 29 mm = 95 mm / x

Cross multiplying:

38 mm * x = 29 mm * 95 mm

Dividing both sides by 38 mm:

x = (29 mm * 95 mm) / 38 mm

x ≈ 72.368 mm

Therefore, the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral is approximately 72.368 mm.
