Question

The two quadrilaterals are similar. What is the value of x?

smaller one 2 and 5

bigger one 3.6 and x

Answer 1

To determine the value of x, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two similar quadrilaterals:

(2 / 3.6) = (5 / x)

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

2x = 3.6 * 5

2x = 18

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 9

Therefore, the value of x is 9.
