Question

Could use some help I’m having trouble finding x

Answer 1

x ≈ 12.2 cm

Explanation:

Since the triangles are in proportion then the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(17)/(25)` =
`(x)/(18)` ( cross- multiply )

25x = 306 ( divide both sides by 25 )

x ≈ 12.2 cm ( to the nearest tenth )
