Question

Find the scale factor and the value of x. HELP !

Answer 1

k = 5/3

x = 21

Explanation:

Here, we have two similar shapes

The scale factor here would be the ratio of the corresponding similar sides

so we have k as 15/9 = 5/3

To find the value of x

When two shapes are similar, the ratio of the sides corresponding are equal

So we have it that;

x/35 = 9/15

= 15 * x = 9 * 35

15x = 315

x = 315/15

x = 21
