The pair of polygons is similar. Find the value of x.
I really need help.
Thanks <3

Because they are similar, they have the same proportions. In the bigger polygon, the one side is 25in, and in the smaller one, the side is 5in. 25÷5=5 So, you have to divide 65 by 5 to get your answer. 65÷5=13 13 inches is the answer

65 25 ​ = x 5 ​ 25 x = 325 x = 13

To find x in similar polygons, set up a proportion of corresponding sides and solve for x using cross multiplication. Ensure each side’s length is accurately represented and proportional to the other polygon. This method maintains clarity and accuracy in understanding the properties of similar polygons.
