Question

Find the missing side in the similar figures below

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 28.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the theorem of similarity, the following equation can be generated:

$\frac{x}{12} = \frac{25 + 35}{25}$

Solve for x

$\frac{x}{12} = \frac{60}{25}$

Cross multiply

$x*25 = 60*12$

$25x = 720$

Divide both sides by 25

x = 28.8
