Question

Given the two similar triangles below. What is the measure of x?

Answer 1

The answer would be 2.4

Explanation:

This is because 5 is the same as 2, and 7 is the same as y, and then 6 is the same as x. If you divide 5 by 2 you get 2.5 if you divide 6 by 2.5 you get 2.4

Answer 2

x=2.4

Explanation:

as the 2 triangles are similar,

`(6)/(x) = (5)/(2)`

therefore ;

`x = (6 * 2)/(5)`

`x = 2.4`
