Answer:
11) x = 9
12) x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
11) Corresponding segments are proportional, so ...
x/6 = 12/8
x = 6(12)/8 . . . multiply by 6
x = 9
__
12) Similar triangle relationships show you the geometric mean relationship that applies in this case.
long side/short side = x/3 = 27/x
x² = 3·27 . . . . . . cross multiply
x = √(3·27) . . . . geometric mean relationship
x = 9
