Answer 2

Answer:

X=1 m

X= 0.81 m

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first X you must put in a proportion like this

38:8=4:X

X=(4×8)/38= 1 m

for the second one's you could use Pythagorean theorema

finding the diagonal of the biggest rectangle and you must put the diagonals in proportion whit the 2 sides

32:4=Y:32.9

Y=(32×32.9)/4=4.1 m (diagonal of the smallest rectangle)

$} \sqrt{ {4.1}^{2} - {4}^{2} } = 0.81m$

use an other time the Pythagorean theorema and you find the other option
