Question

For the yellow similar triangles, solve for x . BC=EF AC=DF. BC=24. AC=21. EF=16. DF= X

Answer 1

Given data:

traingles ABC and DEF are similar.

BC=EF,AC=DF and BC=24,AC=21,EF=16,DF=x.

let us slove for x,

`\begin{gathered} (24)/(21)=(16)/(x) \\ 24x=16*21 \\ 24x=336 \\ x=(336)/(24) \\ x=14 \end{gathered}`

The value of x =14.
