504

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we need to set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the similar polygons.

Let's assume a side of the first polygon is compared to a side of the second polygon.

24/84 = x/504

To cross multiply, we get:

84x = 24 * 504

Divide both sides by 84:

x = (24 * 504) / 84

Simplify:

x = 144

Therefore, the value of x is 144.
