Answer: The value of x = 16 units, y = 4.5 units and z = 7.5 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
ABCD and EFGH are two similar polygons.
Dimensions of ABCD are as follows :
AB = 6 units
BC = 8 units
AD = x units
CD = 10 units
Dimensions of EFGH are as follows :
EF = y
FG = 6 units
EH = 12 units
GH = z
Since they are similar:
[tex]\dfrac{AB}{EF}=\dfrac{BC}{FG}=\dfrac{CD}{GH}=\dfrac{AD}{EH}\\\\\dfrac{6}{y}=\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{10}z}=\dfrac{x}{12}[/tex]
First we take,
[tex]\dfrac{6}{y}=\dfrac{8}{6}\\\\y=\dfrac{36}{8}\\\\y=4.5\ units[/tex]
similarly,
[tex]\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{10}{z}\\\\z=\dfrac{60}{8}\\\\z=7.5\ units[/tex]
similarly,
[tex]\dfrac{8}{6}=\dfrac{x}{12}\\\\x=\dfrac{96}{6}\\\\x=16\ units[/tex]
Hence, the value of x = 16 units, y = 4.5 units and z = 7.5 units.
