Question

Directions: The triangles below are similar. Solve for X. Please show work

Answer 1

x = 20

Explanation:

Mathematically, when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Thus, we have it that;

x/35 = 24/42

x = (35 * 24)/42

x = 20

Answer 2

x = 20

Explanation:

Mathematically, when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Thus, we have it that;

x/35 = 24/42

x = (35 * 24)/42

x = 20
