Question

For the yellow similar triangles, solve for x . BC=EF AC=DF. BC=24. AC=21. EF=16. DF= X

Answer 1

Given data:

traingles ABC and DEF are similar.

BC=EF,AC=DF and BC=24,AC=21,EF=16,DF=x.

let us slove for x,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{24}{21}=\frac{16}{x} \\ 24x=16\times21 \\ 24x=336 \\ x=\frac{336}{24} \\ x=14 \end{gathered}$

The value of x =14.
