The polygons are similar. Find the values of
the variables. Write an equation and solve,
showing ALL the work.
+592 Since they're similar, we can take the similar side that has actual values to find the ratio between the triangles.
7 : 3.5 = 2 : 1
This means:
2y = x + 4
2x = 3y
x - 2y = -4
2x - 3y = 0
2x - 4y = -8
2x - 3y = 0
----------------
y = 8
x - 2y = -4
x - 2(8) = -4
x = 12
