Since the kites are similar, their sides correspond.  You can set up proportions like this:

\frac{40}{48} = \frac{20}{x}

This states that 40 (small kite) is to 48 (big kite) as 20 (small kite) is to x (big kite).  After that, use cross-multiplication to solve for x:

40x = 48*20 \\ 40x=960 \\ x=24

x must be 24 units long.

So, since the polygons are similar, they will share a scale factor. 

The dilation is a reduction.

SF= preimage/image

SF=48/40

SF= 1.2

To find the value of x, multiply 20 by 1.2, so:

20(1.2)=24

Thus, x = 24

Now, to check if the sides are proportional (this will determine if the polygons are, in fact, similar.)

24/20=1.2
48/40=1.2

BTW, the missing side measure for the image is 40 since 48 is its corresponding side, and 48/1.2 (SF) is 40.

Hence, we have 48/40= 1.2

A.) Simplifying the equation would lead you to 15x^2-3x+9

b.) You know your answer is correct because you're adding the two polynomials together. 9x^2+6x^2 is 1tx^2. Now you have 2x-5x and since the negative is bigger, you get -3x. Then 5+4 is 9. You have no like terms therefore your answer is 15x^2-3x+9
