10 in.. 5 in. 12/2 in. The rectangles are similar. Find x. 25 in. B X 17 in C 2/1/2 in.

Answer is 25
To find this you need to find the dilation ratio of one figure side to the other
Take the like sides of 5 and 12-1/2 compared to sides 10 and x
5 10
_ ____
12-1/2. X
Your dilation (make bigger) ratio from 5 to 10 is 2
So you do the same ratio to 12-1/2
Which gives you the answer of 25
I hope this helps!
