Question

The pair of figures is similar. Find x. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

x ≈ 4.125 ft

Explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(11)/(x)` =
`(8)/(3)` ( cross- multiply )

8x = 33 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 4.125 ft
