To find the missing length ( c ) in similar shapes, we can use the property of proportions. If the shapes are similar, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
Assume we know the lengths of the corresponding sides based on the dimensions provided (which would typically be in the problem, but let’s say one side of the first shape is ( a ) and one side of the second shape is ( b ), then we have the proportion:
[
frac{c}{b} = frac{a}{d}
]
Substituting the actual values from your shapes will allow you to solve for ( c ).
Although I don’t have the actual dimensions to calculate the exact value of ( c ), you would compare the given sides of the similar shapes to solve for ( c ).
If you have information about the ratio or the lengths of the sides, please provide more details so I can help you further!
For now, check the ratios between the known sides to find ( c ). You can also look at the options (8 mi, 10 mi, 12 mi, 15 mi) and see which matches your calculated value.
