Answer:
The missing length is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the missing length with x
The non-parallel sides of the given shape are directly proportional.
Mathematically:
3 to 6 and 4 to x
Represent as a ratio:
[tex]3 : 6 = 4 : x[/tex]
Convert to fraction
[tex]\frac{3}{6} = \frac{4}{x}[/tex]
Cross Multiply:
[tex]3 * x = 6 * 4[/tex]
[tex]3x = 24[/tex]
Divide through by 3
[tex]x = \frac{24}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x = 8[/tex]
The length of the missing side is 8
