Question

In the given figure, triangle MNO sim triangle POQ then find the value of x.

Answer 1

Given:-

To find the value of x.

Now we find the shrinking factor of 32 to 24. so we get,

$24x=32$

Solving we get,

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{32}{24} \\ x=\frac{16}{12} \\ x=\frac{8}{6} \\ x=\frac{4}{3} \end{gathered}$

So now with the help of shrinking factor we shrink 16cm. so we get,

$16\times\frac{4}{3}=\frac{64}{3}=21.9$

So the required value of x is 21.9
