Question

Find the missing length, X.
Find the missing length

X= [ ] in

Answer 1

33 in corresponds with the 11 in side

33 in / 11 in = 3

The scale factor is 3

24 in / 3 = 8 in

x = 8 in

Answer 2

Explanation:

In similar triangles, corresponding sides will be in same ratio.

`(33)/(11)=(24)/(x)`

Cross multiply,

33*x = 24 * 11

`x=(24 *11)/(33)\\\\x=(24*1)/(3)\\\\x = 8 in`
