Question

In the given figure, triangle MNO sim triangle POQ then find the value of x.

Answer 1

Given:-

To find the value of x.

Now we find the shrinking factor of 32 to 24. so we get,

`24x=32`

Solving we get,

`\begin{gathered} x=(32)/(24) \\ x=(16)/(12) \\ x=(8)/(6) \\ x=(4)/(3) \end{gathered}`

So now with the help of shrinking factor we shrink 16cm. so we get,

`16*(4)/(3)=(64)/(3)=21.9`

So the required value of x is 21.9
