Question

Use the proportion of the triangle enlargement to find the missing measure of the enlarged triangle. 1:Set up the proportion: 9/6 = x/16 2: use cross product: 9(16)=6x 3: Simplify: 144= ____4: Divide: ___=x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given proportion is

$\frac{9}{6}=\frac{x}{16}$

Then, we solve for $x$. First, we need to use cross product

$\frac{9}{6}=\frac{x}{16}\\9(16)=x(6)\\144=6x$

Then, we isolate $x$ and simplify

$6x=144\\x=\frac{144}{6}\\ x=24$

Therefore, the answer to this proportion is 24.

Answer 2

The value of x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion is set as ;

$\frac{9}{6} =\frac{x}{16}$

Applying cross product

9*16=6*x

144=6x --------simplify by dividing by 6 both sides

144/6 = 6x/6

24=x
