no the answer is 7. 6 times 8 is 48, so 7 times 8 is 56

Answer:

No. The side you're looking for is 7.

Explanation:

These two triangles are similar, which means one triangle is a scaled version of the other -- all of its sides have been multiplied by something called a scale factor, a number we can find by diving the corresponding side lengths of the triangle. 6 and 48 are corresponding sides, and since 6 * 8 = 48, we can say that the scale factor here is 8. So, that means that x * 8 = 56, and going back to our time tables, we find that x = 7.
