Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
To be honest, I am not 100% sure if the solution that I made is correct, but here is what I found:
So the question is basically asking you what is the value of the variable x. While looking at both of these shapes, we can see that the first shape is horizontal, but the second shape is upright, or vertical. To solve for x, let's picture both of these shapes facing the same way.
So, let's turn the second shape to make it horizontal like the first shape. After doing so, we can notice that the height of the second shape (16) is 4 more than the first shape's height (12).
So, if the height of the second shape is 4 more than the height of the first shape, then the width of the second shape (x) is probably 4 more than the width of the first shape (18).
So, 18 + 4 = 22. Therefore, the width, or x of the second shape is equal to 22.
I hope this helps.
