Question

4. FGH - MNP. Solve for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{MN}{FG}$ = $\frac{NP}{GH}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{12}$ = $\frac{10}{20}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6
