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:
306 km
Step-by-step explanation:
put both of them to equal in ratio form so now
85 / (7/6) = x / (21/5)
85 * (21/5) = 7/6x
357 = 7/6x
x = 306 km
12/4=3
6/3=2
and 2/1=2
Hope this helps!
