Question

The polygons are similar, but not necessarily drawn to scale, find the value of x.

Answer 1

Actually I think we have to set up a proportion.

\(\dfrac{16}{12} = \dfrac{x - 1}{6}\)

Cross multiply and solve for 'x':

12x - 12 = 96

Add 12 to both sides:

12x = 108

Can you divide 108 / 12? @bethanyvengen

Answer 2

108/12=9
So x=9?
