Question

Find the value of x please need help ASAP

Answer 1

The correct answer is 17.5.

Because they share a common angle at the top, we know that we can create a proportion using similar sides.

`(Outside LEFT)/(Bottom LEFT) = (Outside RIGHT)/(Bottom RIGHT)`

`(16)/(10) = (28)/(x)`

Now we can cross multiply to solve.

28*10 = 16*x

280 = 16x

17.5 = x
