Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar the ratios of corresponding sides are equal
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
20(4x + 2) = 84x
80x + 40 = 84x ( subtract 80x from both sides )
40 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 10
I set this up as an inequality, 
. If you take the cubed root of 800, you get the lower bound of the side length, which is 9.2. Then I just worked my way up until I hit the first number that put me over a volume of 800. That number is 9.29, because 9.28 cubed is 799.1 (not high enough) and 9.29 cubed is 801.8. Therefore, the bounds of the sides exist within a conjunction: 
. That's the best I could come up with to help on that one. Wasn't sure if there was another method you were taught at school. I just used common sense more than any rule.
