Ms. Tranquille is making a scale drawing of a famous building. In reality, the building is 108 meters tall. In her drawing, the building is 4 ½ inches tall. How wide should the scale drawing be if the actual width is 48 meters?

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.

54/3 is 18 so 18 is your answer
