Write a multiple choice question to solve x.

Solution

Here’s a multiple-choice question based on the triangle shown in the image:


Question:

In the figure, AVW\triangle AVW is similar to VWZ\triangle VWZ. Use the properties of similar triangles to determine the value of xx.

Given:

  • VW=4VW = 4
  • WZ=3WZ = 3
  • VA=xVA = x
  • AW=6AW = 6

Options:

A) x=8x = 8
B) x=9x = 9
C) x=12x = 12
D) x=10x = 10
