Question

Please help!! In class right now, I don’t understand anything

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the triangles are similar, you can divide the sides and equal the results:

24/6 = 10/x

24•x/6 = 10

24•x = 10•6

24•x = 60

x = 60/24

x = 2.5

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 2.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

In similarity triangles, corresponding sides are in same ratio.

$\frac{DF}{BC}=\frac{EF}{AC}\\\\\frac{10}{24}=\frac{x}{6}\\\\\frac{10}{24}*6=x\\\\x=\frac{10}{4}\\\\x=\frac{5}{2}\\\\x= 2.5$
