Question

Please help!! In class right now, I don’t understand anything

Answer 1

x = 2.5

Explanation:

Because the triangles are similar, you can divide the sides and equal the results:

24/6 = 10/x

24•x/6 = 10

24•x = 10•6

24•x = 60

x = 60/24

x = 2.5

Answer 2

x = 2.5 km

Explanation:

In similarity triangles, corresponding sides are in same ratio.

`(DF)/(BC)=(EF)/(AC)\\\\(10)/(24)=(x)/(6)\\\\(10)/(24)*6=x\\\\x=(10)/(4)\\\\x=(5)/(2)\\\\x= 2.5`
