Question

Solve for x. The polygons in the pair are similar. The scale factor is 6:5

Answer 1

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

(48/6) x5 = 4x-4

simplify and you get X = 11

Answer 2

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side of the polygon (in this case, 4x-4), find the exact side of the other polygon (which is 48).

To find the side, use the ratio of 6:5-Divide 48 by 6 (8), and then multiply 8 by 5 (40).

So the size of the bottom side of the bottom polygon is 40.

Now, you must find x.

4x-4=40

4x=44

x=11
