Given that AABCDEF, solve for X.
B
A. 10
o
B. 6
C. 17
0 0

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Δ ABC is similar to Δ DEF then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is
[tex]\frac{EF}{BC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{DE}{AB}[/tex] , substitute values
[tex]\frac{x}{42}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{30}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
30x = 5 × 42 = 210 ( divide both sides by 30 )
x = 7
The ratio remains same
[tex]\\ \sf\dashrightarrow \dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{30}{42}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\dashrightarrow \dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{15}{21}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\dashrightarrow 15x=105[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\dashrightarrow x=7[/tex]
