Question

Parallelogram P was dilated to form parallelogram p'.

What is the value of “x”?( figure not drawn to scale.)

Answer 1

x=1 just got it corect

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 1

Explanation:

See the attached figure.

Here, the parallelogram P was dilated to form parallelogram P'.

Therefore, P and P' will be similar to each other.

So, the corresponding sides of parallelogram P and parallelogram P' will be in the same ratio.

Then,
`(20)/(10) = (8)/(x + 3)`

⇒ 2(x + 3) = 8

⇒ 2x + 6 = 8

⇒ 2x = 2

⇒ x = 1 (Answer)
