Question

Given that abc def, solve for x

Answer 1

`x=6`

Explanation:

We have been given images of two similar triangles. We are asked to solve for x.

We know that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. So we can set an equation as:

`(x)/(54)=(4)/(36)`

`(x)/(54)*54=(4)/(36)*54`

`x=(1)/(9)*54`

`x=6`

Therefore, the value of x is 6.

Answer 2

find the ratio of the 2 sides given, 36 & 4

4/36=0.1111

so 54 x 0.1111 = 6

X=6
