If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length n?
n = ____ yards
To solve for the missing length ( n ) in similar shapes, you can use the property that corresponding sides of similar shapes are proportional.
1. First, identify the lengths of the corresponding sides you have.
2. Set up a proportion using the lengths of the similar shapes.
For example, if you know one shape has a side length of ( a ) yards and the corresponding side on the other shape is ( b ) yards, and you want to find ( n ) when the corresponding side is ( c ) yards, you use the proportion:
[
frac{a}{b} = frac{c}{n}
]
3. Cross-multiply and solve for ( n ):
[
a cdot n = b cdot c
]
[
n = frac{b cdot c}{a}
]
Use this process with your specific values to find ( n ). If you want me to help with specific numbers, feel free to share them! Remember, for more in-depth assistance, check out the extended services page!
