Answer:
x = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
= 
= 3
multiply both sides by (x - 10)
3(x - 10) = 39 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x - 10 = 13 ( add 10 to both sides )
x = 23
Answer:
510000
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the sides of the larger triangle by the corresponding side of the smaller one:
18/7.2 = 2.5
Figure A is 2.5 times the size of figure B
The scale factor is 2.5
3(j+4)-9=9
3j + 12 -9 =9
3j +3 =9
3j =6
j=2
4x12 = 48 and4x6 = 24 so
Add 48 and 24 =72
