Question

select the proportion you would use to solve for x.

o a. $\frac{48}{36}=\frac{x}{48}$
o b. $\frac{x}{36}=\frac{36}{48}$
o c. $\frac{x}{36}=\frac{48}{x}$
o d. $\frac{x}{84}=\frac{36}{48}$

Explanation:

Step1: Use geometric - proportion rule

In similar right - angled triangles, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal. The smaller right - angled triangle with sides 36 and 48 is similar to the larger one with hypotenuse $x$ and side 36. The correct proportion is $\frac{x}{36}=\frac{48}{x}$.

Answer:

C. $\frac{x}{36}=\frac{48}{x}$
