Question

Help please solve for x.

Answer 1

`x=(60)/(7)\ units` or
`x=8(4)/(7)\ units`

Explanation:

The correct question is

The two rectangles show are similar. Find the value of x

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

`(20)/(14)=(x)/(6)`

solve for x

`x=(20)/(14)(6)`

`x=(120)/(14)\ units`

simplify

`x=(60)/(7)\ units`

convert to mixed number

`x=(60)/(7)\ units=(56)/(7)+(4)/(7)=8(4)/(7)\ units`
