After the expression is simplified as much as possible, x is raised to the exponent 2
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
The correct answer for the question shown above is the second option, the option B, which is: B. <span>W'(2, 10), X'(2, 2), Y'(10, 2)
The explanation is shown below: As you can see, the original triangle has the following coordinates </span><span> W(1, 5), X(1, 1), and Y(5, 1); the triangle must be dilated by a common scale factor, so if you analize the option B, you can notice that the triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 2.</span>
