Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If triangles EFG and QRS are similar
then
the scale factor is equal to the measure of the smallest side of triangle QRS divided by the smallest side of triangle EFG
so
Let
x-------> the smallest side of triangle QRS
y-------> the smallest side of triangle EFG
z-------> the scale factor
we have
substitute the values
Find the length of the longest side of QRS
The length of the longest side of QRS is equal to multiply the scale factor by the length of the longest side of EFG
so
Simplify both sides if needed. The left-hand side needs simplification.
4(x - 6)
-2x + 6
4x - 24 -2x + 6
All is left to do is add and subtract to get the x variable all alone.
4x - 24 -2x + 6
6x - 24 6 <-- Add 2x to both sides
6x 30 <-- Add 24 to both sides
x 5 <-- Divide both sides by 6
In order to be in the solution set, x has to be less than or equal to 5.

4x - 24
6x - 24
6x
