Question

Could use some help I’m having trouble finding x

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≈ 12.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are in proportion then the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{17}{25}$ = $\frac{x}{18}$ ( cross- multiply )

25x = 306 ( divide both sides by 25 )

x ≈ 12.2 cm ( to the nearest tenth )
