A quadrilateral’s smallest side measures 29 mm and its largest side
measures 38 mm. A similar quadrilateral’s largest side measures 95
mm. What is the measure of its smallest side? (1 point)
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion between the lengths of the sides of both quadrilaterals.
Let x be the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral.
We can set up the following proportion:
29/38 = x/95
To solve for x, we can cross multiply and then divide:
38x = 29 * 95
38x = 2755
x = 2755/38
x ≈ 72.5
Therefore, the measure of the smallest side of the similar quadrilateral is approximately 72.5 mm.
