Answer:

x = 8

Explanation:

The sides of the polygon are similar, meaning each side corresponds with the same side of the smaller polygon.

ex. PQ≈TU , QR≈UV , etc.

Because of this the sides RS and VW are also similar, the polygon is simply being scaled down by 1.5

9÷1.5 = 6 , 6÷1.5 = 4

therefore the side length VW is a scaled down version of RS meaning you take the length of RS , which is 12 , and divide it by 1.5

12 ÷ 1.5 = 8

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x=8

Explanation:

Hello

As they are similar we can write


(18)/(12)=(9)/(6)=(6)/(4)=(12)/(x) \ so\\\\x = (2*12)/(3)=2*4=8

Hope this helps
