Question

Find the missing side in the similar figures below

Answer 1

a. 28.8

Explanation:

Using the theorem of similarity, the following equation can be generated:

`(x)/(12) = (25 + 35)/(25)`

Solve for x

`(x)/(12) = (60)/(25)`

Cross multiply

`x*25 = 60*12`

`25x = 720`

Divide both sides by 25

x = 28.8
