the pair of figures is similar. Find X. Round to the nearest 10th if necessary.

Answer:
9.7 rounded to 10
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm pretty sure 10 would be the answer, because since they are similar triangle you would cross multiply. So you would do [tex]\frac{23}{x} =\frac{40}{17}[/tex], you would the cross multiply 23×17 and 40×X. You would then have 40X=391, so you would divide 391÷40, so X=9.7 or 10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If traingles are similar, then corresponding sides are in proportion:
[tex]\dfrac{x}{17}=\dfrac{23}{40}[/tex] cross multiply
[tex]40x=(17)(23)[/tex]
[tex]40x=391[/tex] divide both sides by 40
[tex]x=9.775\ cm[/tex]
