Question

if these two shapes are similar, what is the measure of the missing length g?
g = centimeters

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of similar shapes

For similar shapes, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal. So, we have the proportion $\frac{28}{36}=\frac{35}{g}$.

Step2: Cross - multiply

Cross - multiplying gives $28g = 35\times36$.

Step3: Solve for \(g\)

First, calculate $35\times36 = 1260$. Then, $g=\frac{1260}{28}$.
Since $1260\div28 = 45$.

Answer:

\(45\)
