Question

Please help me! what is the value of x??

Answer 1

C.) X = 9.75

Explanation:

Since it is a scale factor of shapes Side AD is a scale model of Side JM, you just have to find the scale difference:

• 39 ÷ 20 = 1.95

So since Side DC and Side ML are also scale models of the same scaled shapes the difference in scale is the same:

• Multiply 5 by 1.95:
• x = 5 x 1.95
• x = 9.75
