If these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length u?
u =
A) 48 in
B) 54 in
C) 60 in
D) 64 in
To find the missing length ( u ) in similar shapes, you can use the property that the ratios of corresponding sides of similar shapes are equal.
1. First, identify the lengths of the corresponding sides in the two shapes.
2. Set up a proportion based on the lengths you have. For example, if you know a side length of one shape and the corresponding side length of the other shape, you can write the equation as:
[
frac{text{Side length of Shape 1}}{text{Side length of Shape 2}} = frac{text{Known side length}}{u}
]
3. Solve for ( u ) by cross-multiplying and isolating ( u ).
Once you apply the proportions correctly with the known side lengths, you will arrive at the value for ( u ).
If you provide the specific lengths of the sides or any other relevant details, I can guide you through the exact calculations! Otherwise, the correct answer will depend on the proportions derived from the shapes provided. Please refer to the evidence from your problem to get the precise value. Happy studying!
