To find the value of x, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let's set up the proportion:
Original side ratio = New side ratio
31 / 20.7 = x / 14.6
Now we can cross-multiply and solve for x.
31 * 14.6 = 20.7 * x
452.6 = 20.7x
Divide both sides by 20.7:
x = 452.6 / 20.7
x ≈ 21.88
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the value of x is approximately 21.9 inches.
