To Find: The area of similar quadrilateral whose longest side is
Answer to Problem 15WE
Explanation of Solution
Given: A quadrilateral with sides
Since two quadrilaterals are equal.
Thus
The longest side of the two quadrilaterals is a pair of corresponding sides.
So
Longest side of first quadrilateral is
Thus the scale factor is
For two similar
Now
Let the area of second quadrilateral is
Area of first quadrilateral is
Thus
Hence,
The area of second quadrilateral is
