Solving With Similar Figures

Which proportion would allow you to solve for the missing side, x?

• A

• B

• C

• D

The pair of figures is similar. Find the missing side.

• x = 9

• x = 28

• x = 7

• x = 63

Solve for X.

• 2 ft

• 3 ft

• 4 ft

• 6 ft

Using a proportion, find the height of the tree.

• x = 0.0625 ft.

• 16 ft

• x = 16 ft.

The pair of figures is similar. Find the missing side.

• x = 20

• x = 12

• x = 5

• x = 4

If the two rectangles are similar, then the length of PQ is…cm

• 10

• 20

• 24

• 28

The pair of figures is similar. Find the missing side.

• x = 12

• x = 3

• x = 40

• x = 4

Tell whether the two figures are similar. Explain your reasoning.

• Yes, similar because they are the same shape and side lengths are proportional.

• No, not similar because they are the same shape, but side lengths are not proportional.

• Yes, same shape

• No, different sizes

• A

• B

• C

• D
