Answer 1

1.5

Explanation:

To find the value of x that makes triangle DEF similar to XYZ, we have to find the scale. To do this find 2 similar sides. I chose 7.5 from XYZ and 5 from DEF. Divide 7.5 by 5 to get 1.5. 1.5 is our scale so this means we will insert 1.5 for x and get 4.5 as our answer.

Answer 2

x = 3.5

Explanation:

Each value is multiplied by 1.5 so 7 times 1.5 is 10.5

10.5/3 = 3.5
