Question

triangle w is a scaled copy of triangle v.
triangle v has sides 6 and 3\frac{1}{2}. triangle w has sides x and 2\frac{5}{8}.
what is the value of x?
solve for n.
\frac{n}{4} = \frac{6}{5}
n = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Cross - multiply

Cross - multiply the equation \(\frac{n}{4}=\frac{6}{5}\). We get \(5n = 4\times6\).

Step2: Simplify the right - hand side

Calculate \(4\times6 = 24\). So the equation becomes \(5n=24\).

Step3: Solve for \(n\)

Divide both sides of the equation \(5n = 24\) by \(5\). We have \(n=\frac{24}{5}=4.8\).

Answer:

\(n = 4.8\)
