Question

these two triangles are similar. the side with length corresponds to the side with length 8.10. what is the value of x? 4 of 7 questi 4.86 4.05 7.26 5.97

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of similar triangles

For similar triangles, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal. So, \(\frac{8.10}{x}=\frac{9.90}{5.94}\)

Step2: Cross - multiply

Cross - multiplying gives \(9.90x = 8.10\times5.94\)

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

First, calculate \(8.10\times5.94 = 48.114\). Then \(x=\frac{48.114}{9.90}=4.86\)

Answer:

A. 4.86
