Question

△FSB∼△ZDR . What is the value of x? Enter your answer. How many units?

Answer 1

Answer: 22

---------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The triangles are similar, so we know the corresponding sides form ratios that are equal. 

Note how...
FS and ZD are the first two letters of FSB and ZDR respectively
FB and ZR are the first & last letters of FSB and ZDR respectively

Based on those two facts above, we can form this proportion
FS/ZD = FB/ZR
38/15.2 = 55/x

Solve for x
38/15.2 = 55/x
38*x = 15.2*55
38*x = 836
x = 836/38
x = 22
