Me solve this! solve for x. the polygons in each pair are similar. a. 10 b. 12 c. 13 d. 6

A

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that the two triangles are similar. that means that the corresponding sides are in a ratio.

(x + 8):3 = 36:6

Rewrite the proportion as an equation

(x + 8)/3 = 36/6             Multiply both sides by 3

x + 8 = 36 * 3 / 6           combine factors on the right 3 * 36 which is 108

x + 8 = 108 / 6               combine again

x + 8 = 18                      Subtract 8 from both sides.

x + 8 - 8 = 18 - 8

x = 10

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
