To find the length of side x, we can set up a proportion using the side lengths of the two triangles.
4/6 = x/10.5
Cross multiply to solve for x:
4 * 10.5 = 6 * x
42 = 6x
Divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:
x = 42 / 6
x = 7
Therefore, the length of side x is 7.
Triangle 1 is a scale drawing of Triangle 2, as shown below.
Triangle 1 has sides 4, x and 6, and triangle 2 has sides 6, 10.5, and 9.
Based on the information shown in these triangles, what is the length of the side x?
