Answer:

The correct answer is x =9

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, the polygons are similar.

Then the ratio of  corresponding sides are equal.

<u>To find the ratio of corresponding sides</u>

corresponding sides are

16 and 12   ratio  = 12/16 = 3/4

32 and 24 ratio  = 24/32 = 3/4

x - 1 and 6

y + 1 and 21

Therefore we can write 6/(x-1) = 3/4

<u>To find the value of x</u>

6/(x-1) = 3/4

24 = 3(x-1)

24 = 3x - 3

3x = 27

x = 27/3

x = 9

Therefore the value of x = 9

Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the given polygons are similar the corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

This implies that;

\frac{x-1}{6}=\frac{16}{12}

We multiply both sides by 6 to obtain;

x-1=\frac{16}{12}\times 6

x-1=\frac{16}{2}

x-1=8

Group similar terms to get;

x=8+1

x=9

Hello.

The symbols | | mean the absolute value, which is keeps the numbers postive.

Of the answers shown, the correct answer is {-8, 8) because |-8 + 2| = 10, because of the absolute value symbols | |. (Also |8 + 2| of course equals 10.)
