Question

What is the value of x?

___ cm

Answer 1

94

Explanation:

The triangle is split into two similar triangles. They have the same shape but not the same size. To solve, write a proportion to find KY.

`(95.2)/(168)=(34)/(KY)`

Cross multiply to solve for KY.

95.2(KY) = 168(34)

95.2KY = 5,712

KY = 60

Add KY to 34 to find x.

60 + 34 = 94.
