Question

22 POINTS!!!! The polygons below are similar. Find the value of x.

4.5
7.5
12
16

Answer 1

The answer is 16. 8 divided 6 is 1.333. When 1.333 is multipled by 12 you get 15.9.

Answer 2

x = 16, y = 4.5, z = 7.5

Explanation:

Similar figures have the sides in the same ratio

Ratio = BC/FG = 8/6 = 4/3

AD/EH = 4/3

x/12 = 4/3

x = 16

AB/EF = 4/3

6/y = 4/3

y = 6×3÷4

y = 4.5

DC/HG = 4/3

10/z = 4/3

z = 10×3÷4

z = 7.5
