Answer:
Soil erosion is the natural process in which the topsoil of a field is carried away by physical sources such as wind and water. In this process, the soil particles are loosened or washed away in the valleys, oceans, rivers, streams or far away lands.
It occurs when the impact of water or wind separates and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Soil deterioration and low water quality due to erosion and surface runoff have become severe problems worldwide.
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
