Question

This pair of figures is similar. Find the missing side.​

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(x)/(8)` =
`(4)/(16)` ( cross- multiply )

16x = 32 ( divide both sides by 16 )

x = 2

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

so if the bigger one is 16 and the other one is 4 that means you need to multiply 4 by 4 to get 16 so to find x you need to divide the 8 by 4 to find your answer
