56+56+35+x=177  <- just add these number and find out that 
147+x=177   and x=177-147   So G to A = x

anonymous · Answer

wait so a=x is the answer?! :o

anonymous · Answer

If your supposed to find G to A, then yes. and x=30 because 177-147=30.

You probably need to use similarity to solve this. If two shapes are similar, and we have corresponding parts a and A, b and B like this:
|dw:1337098109702:dw|

Then
$$\frac{a}{A} = \frac{b}{B}$$
