Question

14 part 1 create a proportion to solve for the unknown side. use x in your equation: 16 22 11 x proportion - part 2 solve the proportion and find the measure of the missing side: x =

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

Since the triangles are similar, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal. So, \(\frac{16}{x}=\frac{22}{11}\)

Step2: Solve the proportion

Cross - multiply: \(22x = 16\times11\)
\(22x=176\)
Divide both sides by 22: \(x=\frac{176}{22}\)

Answer:

Proportion: \(\frac{16}{x}=\frac{22}{11}\)
\(x = 8\)
