Question

Plzz help. Giving everything.
D. 24.5

Answer 1

`(8)/(14) = (14)/(x+2)` (since they're similar, set them up as a proportion to find x)

14*14 = 8(x+2) (cross multiply, solve the left side, and distribute the right side)

196 = 8x +16 (subtract 16 from both sides)

180 = 8x (divide both sides by 8)

x= 22.5 (is your answer, or C)
