Scale factor from A to B = 3:4 , A has one side = 2+x , B has one side = 16
IF those are corresponding sides:
2+x = (3/4) 16
2 + x = 12
x = 12 - 2
To find the scale factor from A to B, we can set up the ratio of the corresponding sides of the two figures.
The ratio of the sides of A to B is given as 3:4.
Let's set up the equation as follows:
(2+x) : 16 = 3 : 4
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
4(2+x) = 3(16)
8 + 4x = 48
Now, we can solve for x:
4x = 48 - 8
4x = 40
x = 40/4
x = 10
Therefore, the value of x is 10.
To find the value of x in this problem, we can set up a proportion using the given scale factor.
The scale factor from A to B is 3:4, which means that corresponding sides of A and B are in the ratio 3:4.
We are given that one side of A has a length of 2+x and one side of B has a length of 16.
Setting up the proportion:
(2+x) / 16 = 3/4
To solve this, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
4(2+x) = 16(3)
8 + 4x = 48
4x = 48 - 8
4x = 40
x = 40/4
x = 10
Therefore, the value of x is 10.
