Question

The polygons are similar, but not necessarily drawn to scale. Find the value of x. PLEASE HELPPPP

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 27.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are given numbers on each side. If the figures are similar, then they have a set ratio for each value.

So, 55:8 and x:4. If you want to, you can flip it, so that it is 8:55 and 4:x.

With that in mind, it is easy to see what the ratio is. Because 4 is half of 8, x is half of 55. 55 divided by 2 is 27.5.

Therefore, x = 27.5.
