Quadrilateral abcd is similar to quadrilateral efgh. the lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral abcd are 24 feet, 16 feet, 12 feet long. if the
two shortest sides of quadrilateral efgh are 9 feet long and 18 feet long, how long is the 4th side quadrilateral abcd ?
a. 16 feet
b. 20 feet
c. 24
d. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH.

Hence we have lengths are proportional

ABCD has sides if arranged from larger to smaller the third one is 12 feet.

Similarly if EFGH are arranged from small to large the second one is 18 feet.

Thus we have the sides 12 and 18 would be corresponding sides.

Proportionality = 12;18 = 2:3

Now left over is the smallest side of ABCD.

if x is the smallest side

then x: 9 = 2:3

Solving we have

x =6 feet

THus answer is 6 feet

The answers given are wrong as the smallest side cannot exceed other side lengths.

answer: c

because if you look at the chart you can see a pattern and compare it to the question he simplify out your

but i think the formula is f(x)=6x
