Question

Two rectangles are similar. One has a length of 12 cm and a width of 9 cm, and
the other has a width of 8 cm. Find the length of the second rectangle. Round to
the nearest tenth if necessary.
A 12.3 cm
B 6 cm
C 10.7 cm
D 8 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

10.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the missing side.

The rectangles are similar. Wich means:

● 8/9 = x/12

Cross multiply

● 9x = 8×12

● 9x = 96

Divide both sides by 9

● 9x/9 = 96/9

● x = 10.666

Round it to the nearest unit

● x = 10.7
