Two quadrilaterals are similar. the length of the row longest sides of the first quadrilateral are 40in and 60in. the lengths of the three shortest sides of the second quadrilateral are 5in, 12in, and 16in. find the unknown lengths of the sides of these two figures .

The sides of the first quadrilateral are 60 in, 40 in, 30 in and 12,5 in

The sides of the second quadrilateral are 24 in, 16 in, 12 in and 5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional, and this ratio is called the scale factor

Arrange the sides of each quadrilateral from largest to smallest

First quadrilateral            Second quadrilateral

Longest side=60 in          Longest side=c in

Second side=40 in           Second side=16 in

Third  side= a in                Third  side= 12 in

Fourth side=b in                Fourth side=5 in

so

Find the value of c

Find the value of a

Find the value of b

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
