Question

HELP 10 POINTS and brainliest! What is the value of X? △MAH∼△WCF .

Answer 1

The value of x is 23.

Simply find the scale factor or what was used to dilate △MAH to produce △WCF.

Use the equation copy over the original,

$k = \frac{c}{o} = \frac{15.5}{62}$

Reduce,

$\frac{15.5}{62} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

So our scale factor is ¼ or 0.25

So if we use it and multiply the corresponding side of the missing side with the original we get,

$92 \times \frac{1}{4} = 23$

Therefore 23 is our missing side! !
