Question

Can anyone help me with this, I gave a picture so you can figure it out

Answer 1

Answer:

X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the smaller triangle's base is 1.5ft and the bigger triangle's base is 6ft then in order to find x you have to find how much bigger the big triangle is compared to the small triangle in order to do that you have to divide 6 by 1.5 (6÷1.5)  which is 4 now you know that the bigger triangle is 4 times as big as the smaller triangle now to find X divide the 8 by 4 (since the 8 is on the same side as the X only the 8 is on the bigger triangle) which is 2
