Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

You have to set up a proportion for this!

Because ABC and PAQ are similar triangles (same angles and PQ || BC), you can assume that all the equivalent sides are proportional!

If you solve the proportion for x:

`(x)/(40) =(7)/(35)`

x = 8

Answer 2

D: The value of x is 8
