The Polygons Are Similar But Not Necessarily Drown To Scale What Is The Value Of X class=

Sagot :

Answer: 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the polygons are similar, the corresponding sides are all in the same proportions.

x-2/4.5 = 16/2 = 48/6

Solving for x

[tex]\frac{x-2}{4.5}=\frac{48}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x-2}{4.5}=8[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4.5\left(x-2\right)}{4.5}=8\cdot \:4.5[/tex]

[tex]x-2=36[/tex]

[tex]x-2+2=36+2[/tex]

[tex]x=38[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is 38
