Question

Find the value of y. Round your answers to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

4.3 Is the answer like the value of X in the nearest tenth.

Answer 2

y ≈ 4.3

Explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(AB)/(RS)` =
`(ED)/(VU)` , substitute values

`(6)/(4)` =
`(8)/(y+1)` ( cross- multiply )

6(y + 1) = 32

6y + 6 = 32 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

6y = 26 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y ≈ 4.3 ( to the nearest tenth )
