Question

A pool company is creating an image for a dient that has the look of a 3-D image for a family pool and a similar dop pool. Find the value of x in the drawing below:

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

Since both pools are similar, it follows that their side lengths are proportional.

Therefore:

`(BC)/(FG) = (AD)/(EH)`

BC = 4

FG = 3

AD = x

EH = 6

Plug in the values

`(4)/(3) = (x)/(6)`

Multiply both sides by 6

`(4)/(3)*6 = (x)/(6)*6`

`(24)/(3) = x`

8 = x

x = 8
