The two prisms below are similar. What is the value of x?
24
4
16
A. 4
B. 24
C. 16
D. 1

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the prisms are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
[tex]\frac{16}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{1}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 4 → A
