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

Answer: Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had gambled on sending the missiles to Cuba with the specific goal of increasing his nation's nuclear strike capability.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The Soviet Union signed a treaty with Hitler, the U.S. kept the atomic bomb a secret, and the U.S. took a long time to attack Hitler.
- France, Britain, and the United States wanted to reunify Germany, so they combined their areas into West Germany. Soviets cut off transportation to West Berlin. This lead to the United States and Britain using the Berlin airlift to bring food/supplies into the isolated part of Soviet occupied West Berlin.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Base = 24 cm or 10cm
Step-by-step explanation:
REMEMBER:
An isosceles triangle ABC with base BC = ‘b' & height AD = ‘h' & its equal sides =13 cm & area = 60 cm²
Using the formulas
There are 2 solutions for 
≈ 
Less complex:
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * b * h = 60
=> h = 120/b
In right triangle ABD
13² = h² + b² /4 ( by Pythagoras law)
=>169 = 120²/b² + b²/4
=>676 b² = 57600 + b^4
=> b^4 - 676 b² + 57600 = 0
=> b² = 676 +- √(676² - 4*57600) / 2
=> b²= 676 +- √(226576) /2
=> b² = (676 +- 476 )/2
=> b² = 1152/2 , 200 /2
=> b² = 576 , 100
=> b = 24, 10
So, Base = 24 cm or 10cm
