Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5.4

Step-by-step explanation:

(This question has already been answered, but both of the incorrect ones were deleted, so for future reference...)

Fig A is a scale image of Fig D. These two quadrilaterals are similar, and thus, the side lengths of corresponding sides are proportional. Set the proportion x/3 = 7.2/4 (you could alternatively write it as x/7.2 = 3/4 but for the simplicity's sake, and assuming anyone who has this problem would already know how to solve proportions like these...)

7.2/4 = 1.8

so

x/3 = 1.8

now multiply both sides by 3 to get x = 5.4
