What is the length of x

Question

the figure is a parallel triangle
figure 1 2in , 6.4
figure 2 x , 9.6

Answer 1

To find the length of x, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of Figure 1 and Figure 2:

2/6.4 = x/9.6

Now, we can cross multiply:

6.4x = 2 * 9.6

Simplifying the equation:

6.4x = 19.2

Dividing both sides by 6.4:

x = 19.2/6.4

x = 3

Therefore, the length of x is 3.
