Question

Hurry late work! Consider the reduction of the rectangle. Rounded to the nearest 10th, what is the value of X?

Answer 1

0.6 feet

Explanation:

The first rectangle to scaled down. Therefore, the scale factor will be less than 1.

`(4.5)/(16.8)=(15)/(56)`

Therefore, the scale factor is
`(15)/(56)`.

`(15)/(56)*2.3=(69)/(112)`

`(69)/(112)` ≈ 0.6, so the value of x is 0.6 feet.
