Answer:

The scale factor is [tex]\frac{9}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

so

[tex]\frac{18}{14}=\frac{27}{21}=\frac{9}{7}[/tex]

therefore

The scale factor is 9/7

Find the value of x

The value of x is equal to  

[tex]\frac{x}{28}=\frac{9}{7}[/tex]

[tex]x=28(\frac{9}{7})=36\ units[/tex]
