Question

Here are two similar pentagons which make up a badge.

width - 3x cm & length - 27cm - large badge
width - x cm & length - (x+3)cm - small badge
Work out the width of the badge.

Answer 1

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3x ÷ x = 3

27 ÷ 3 = 9

9 = x + 3
x = 6

I don't which one is the width so I just assume the smaller badge side x cm is the width
