Explain how you could use the dimensions of a reduced rectangle and one given measurement of an original rectangle to find a missing measure?

Answer 1

You can use the scale factor

orignal: reduced

a:b

a(measurement of the original)

b(measurement of the reduced)

a         x (measurement on the original figure)

---  =    ---

b          y (measurement on the reduced figure)

You need to know a,b and either x or y and then solve for the other

using cross products

ay = bx

solve for the one item you don't know

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

in a reduced rectangle, the dimensions are in the same ratio as in the original rectangle

given one measurement of the original rectangle, u can use the same ratio from the reduced rectangle to find any missing measure
