the figures are similar. find x. the ratio of the perimeters is 5:7

Answer:
x = 16.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of corresponding sides is equivalent to the ratio of the perimeters.
Then using proportion
[tex]\frac{12}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
5x = 84 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 16.8
