x = 10.22 in
Solution:
Width of the figure = x in
Length of the figure = (2x + 5) in
Area of the figure = 260 in²
<u>To find the value of x:</u>
<em>Area of the figure = length × width</em>
length × width = 260
(2x + 5) × x = 260
Subtract 260 from both sides of the equation.
Factor the above quadratic expression.
Quadratic equation formula:
x = 10.22, x = –12.72006
Dimension of the figure cannot be measured in negative terms.
Hence x = 10.22 in.
Answer:
c = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>**I assume that side WX in my diagram (attached as an image below) is the value of C that we're looking for. ALSO, the sizes and lengths of the parallelograms are NOT to scale.**</u>
If two parallelograms are similar, that means the lengths of the corresponding sides have EQUAL ratios.
PL corresponds with WZ. To get from 15 to 45, you would multiply 15 by 3, so the ratio of the legnths of the corresponding sides between these two parallelograms is 1:3.
With that in mind, we can apply this ratio to find WX.
We know that AP has a length of 7, so we will multiply that by 3, getting a value of 21, and 7:21 ratio is the same as 1:3.
c = 21
