the second shape is double the first so you would do AB = 2 and then times by 2 as its double and you will get 4
answer = 4

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

[tex]\frac{JK}{AB}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{KL}{BC}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{4}[/tex] = 2 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

x = 4
