Question

8. The two trapezoids below are similar figures. What is the value of x?

8.16
5.1
10.2
X

Answer 1

16.32

Explanation:

Since the figures are similar, corresponding sides have the same ratio. Here, we notice the bottom base is twice the length of the top base (10.2 = 2(5.1)), so ...

x = 2(8.16)

x = 16.32
