The two triangles below are similar (but not drawn to scale). Find the value of x. Round answer to the nearest tenth.

Question

37.6 inches, 24.3 inches.
15 inches,x
x= inches

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion to find the value of x.

The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is the same.

So, we can set up the proportion:

37.6/24.3 = 15/x

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

37.6 * x = 24.3 * 15

x = (24.3 * 15) / 37.6

x ≈ 9.82 inches

Therefore, x is approximately 9.82 inches.

Answer 2

its wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again.

The correct proportion to set up is:

(37.6 / 15) = (24.3 / x)

Cross-multiplying the proportion gives us:

37.6 * x = 24.3 * 15

x = (24.3 * 15) / 37.6

x ≈ 9.8 inches

Therefore, x is approximately 9.8 inches.

Answer 4

The two triangles below are similar (but not drawn to scale). Find the value of x. Round answer to the nearest tenth.
37.6 inches, 15 inches
24.3 inches,x
x= inches

Answer 5

To find the value of x, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the similar triangles:

37.6 inches / 15 inches = 24.3 inches / x

Cross-multiplying gives us:

37.6 inches * x = 15 inches * 24.3 inches

x = (15 inches * 24.3 inches) / 37.6 inches

x ≈ 9.68 inches

Therefore, x is approximately 9.68 inches.
