Answer:
The corresponding side in the smaller figure is 9 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that you can use proportions to solve this problem:
The ratio from large image to smaller is: Larger/smaller = 4/3.
Therefore use this type of proportions to find the length of the corresponding side to 12 cm in the smaller figure:
[tex]\frac{4}{3} =\frac{12 \,cm }{smaller} \\smaller\,(\frac{4}{3}) = 12\,cm\\smaller=\frac{3* 12\,cm}{4} \\smaller=\frac{36\,cm}{4} \\smaller=9\,cm[/tex]
