Question

A pool company is creating an image for a dient that has the look of a 3-D image for a family pool and a similar dop pool. Find the value of x in the drawing below:

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both pools are similar, it follows that their side lengths are proportional.

Therefore:

$\frac{BC}{FG} = \frac{AD}{EH}$

BC = 4

FG = 3

AD = x

EH = 6

Plug in the values

$\frac{4}{3} = \frac{x}{6}$

Multiply both sides by 6

$\frac{4}{3}*6 = \frac{x}{6}*6$

$\frac{24}{3} = x$

8 = x

x = 8
