Explanation:

Similar figures have same ratio of corresponding sides.

Set up ratios and solve for x.

#1

  • x / 54 = 6 / 36
  • x / 54 = 1/6
  • x = 54/6
  • x = 9

#2

  • x / 4 = 99 / 11
  • x / 4 = 9
  • x = 4*9
  • x = 36

#3

  • x / 10 = 6 / 60
  • x / 10 = 1/6
  • x = 10/6
  • x = 5/3

#4

  • x / 4 = 28 / 7
  • x / 4 = 4
  • x = 4*4
  • x = 16
