Question

help please!!

Answer 1

I just learned this not too long ago, let me see if I can go back to those lessons and example to you how to do it c:

Answer 2

How would you approach this one Paris? It's a bit similar to the ones we did before.

Answer 3

Emphasis on the word similar (:

Answer 4

I'm not too sure how you got the 1.5

Answer 5

I got 1.5 because the two figures were similar to each other. That means that there is some common factor between the two figures that I can use to find the measure of the lengths on the other figure.

Here we can solve it two ways.
\[\frac{ 20 }{ x } = \frac{ 16 }{ 4 }\]
\[16x = 80\]
\[x = 5\]

Or we can find the common factor, as we did earlier
\[16a = 4\]
\[a = \frac{ 4 }{ 16 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]
\[20 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } = 5\]

Answer 6

So x would be 20?

Answer 7

No. Look at my final answer for the two different ways that I solved this problem.

Answer 8

So x=5?

yes
