Qouadrilateral A has side length 699 and 12 quadrilateral B is a scaled copy of quadrilateral A with its shortest side of length 2 what is the perimeter of quad class=

Respuesta :

The perimeter of quadrilateral B is 12.

Explanation

Quadrilateral A has side lengths as  6, 9, 9 and 12.  In quadrilateral B, length of the shortest side is 2.

As quadrilateral B is a scaled copy of quadrilateral A, so the scale factor will be...

(Shortest side of B / Shortest side of A) [tex]=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Now the remaining side lengths for quadrilateral B will be.....

[tex](9*\frac{1}{3}) , (9*\frac{1}{3})[/tex] and [tex](12*\frac{1}{3})[/tex]

⇒  3 , 3 and 4  

Thus, the perimeter of quadrilateral B is [tex]= 2+3+3+4= 12[/tex]
