Question

1. n = ____ ft.

Explanation:

Step1: Assume the two shapes are similar.

Since they are similar, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Step2: Set up the proportion.

We can set up the proportion $\frac{27}{3}=\frac{54}{n}$.

Step3: Cross - multiply.

$27n = 3\times54$.

Step4: Solve for $n$.

First, calculate $3\times54 = 162$. Then $n=\frac{162}{27}=6$.

Answer:

$6$
