Question

What is the value of x? x = ___

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is split into two similar triangles. They have the same shape but not the same size. To solve, write a proportion.

$\frac{56}{44.8}=\frac{35}{x+4}$

Cross multiply to solve for x.

56(x+4) = 44.8(35)

56x + 224 = 1,568

56x = 1,344

x= 24
