Question

What is the measure of x?​

Answer 1

Answer:

9 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line 10 in. and line 4 in. are parallel, then the two triangles are similar.

As such, the ratio of the sides would give the same results.

Hence,

4/6 = 10/(6 + x)

cross multiplying

4(6 + x) = 60

Dividing both sides by 4

6 + x = 15

collecting like terms

x = 15 - 6

= 9
