The two quadrilaterals are given similar .
In any similar figure sides are in proportion.The second largest side of quadrilateral ABCD is 16 ft .Let the second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH be x ft. These sides will be in proportion to each other .
The second shortest side of quadrilateral EFGH that is GF will be proportional to the third longest side of quadrilateral ABCD that is BC
We can form a proportion with the proportional sides:
To solve for x we cross multiply
12x=(16)(18)
12x=288
Dividing both sides by 12 we get
x=24.
The second longest side of quadrilateral EFGH is 24 ft.

<u>Answer:</u>
- Carly's expenditure was $240 and the number of boxes of cards was required is 24 boxes.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that:
- 48 + 8(b) = Carly's expenditure
- 10(b) = Carly's expenditure
- 48 + 8b = 10b
- B = Boxes of cards
<u>Work:</u>
- 48 + 8b = 10b
- => 48 + 8b - 8b = 10b - 8b
- => 48 = 2b
- => b = 24
<u>Now, let's substitute the value of b into any equation.</u>
<u>Hence, Carly's expenditure was $240 and the number of boxes of cards was required is 24 boxes.</u>
Hoped this helped.
