Question

The pair of figures is similar. Find x. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

The answer is 12.2        .........

Answer 2

The correct option is 4.

Explanation:

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

It is given that the given triangles are similar, so it means their corresponding sides are proportional.

`(17)/(25)=(x)/(18)`

Multiply both sides by 18.

`(17)/(25)* 18=x`

`12.24=x`

`x\approx 12.2`

The value of x is 12.2. Therefore the correct option is 4.
