Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve since they are similar triangles

6         6+x

----- = ---------

5          6

Using cross products

6*6 = 5*(6+x)

36 = 30+6x

Subtract 30 from each side

36-30 = 30-30+6x

6 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

6/6 = 6x/6

1 =x
