If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length m?
m = _____ miles
To find the missing length ( m ) in similar shapes, you can set up a proportion based on the corresponding sides of the shapes.
1. Identify Corresponding Sides: Look at the lengths given for the two shapes. For instance, if one side of the first shape is ( a ) and the corresponding side of the second shape is ( b ), you’ll use these for your proportion.
2. Set Up the Proportion: Use the formula:
[
frac{m}{text{length of corresponding side}} = frac{text{length of another side}}{text{length of its corresponding side}}
]
3. Cross Multiply: Solve the equation by cross-multiplying to find ( m ).
4. Solve for ( m ): Isolate ( m ) to find its value.
