Question

Solve for x. The triangles in each pair are similar.
A. 11
B. 8
C. 9
D. 3​

Answer 1

B) 8

Explanation:

Because the triangles are similar, we can use a proportion to solve this.

11/6=33/3x-6

cross multiply

11(3x-6)=33*6

distribute and multiply

33x-66=198

add 66 on both sides

33x=264

divide 33 on both sides

x=8

Answer 2

It’s B

33/11= 3
3*6= 18

18= 3x-6
24= 3x
x= 8
