Question

The pair of figures is similar. Find x. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{18}{x}$ = $\frac{8}{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

8x = 36 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 4.5
