Sagot :

Answer:  x = 6

======================================================

Explanation:

The jump from CD = 2 to C'D' = 4 is "times 2". That must mean we go from BC = 3 to B'C' = 2*(BC) = 2*3 = 6. Therefore, x = 6.

-------

We could use a proportion to get the value of x as an alternative method:

(B'C')/(BC) = (C'D')/(CD)

x/3 = 4/2

2x = 3*4 ... cross multiply

2x = 12

x = 12/2 .... dividing both sides by 2

x = 6
