The quadrilateral smallest side measures 29 mm and it’s largest side measures 38 mm a similar quadrilaterals largest side measures 95 mm what is the measure of its smallest side?

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion to solve this problem. Let x be the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral.

The ratio of the smallest side of the first quadrilateral to the largest side of the first quadrilateral is 29/38.
The ratio of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral to the largest side of the similar quadrilateral is x/95.

Setting up this proportion, we have:
29/38 = x/95

Cross-multiplying, we get:
29 * 95 = 38 * x
2755 = 38x

Dividing both sides by 38, we get:
x = 2755/38
x = 72.5

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