Question

Triangle KLM ~ triangle KCD are similar. Solve for x.​

Answer 1

x=14

Explanation:

28/16 = 1.75

1.75 is the constant of proportionality

63/1.75 = 36

therefore, 2x+8 should be equal to 36

2x+8 = 36 >> subtract 8 from both sides

2x = 28 >> divide both side by 2 to get x alone

x = 14
