The problem states that figure $V$ is a scaled drawing of figure $W$. We need to determine the value of $x$ for each case. In the first case, we are given two rectangles, $W$ and $V$. $W$ has dimensions 2 cm and $x$ cm. $V$ has dimensions 5 cm and 6 cm. We must find $x$.

1. Problem Description

The problem states that figure VV is a scaled drawing of figure WW. We need to determine the value of xx for each case. In the first case, we are given two rectangles, WW and VV. WW has dimensions 2 cm and xx cm. VV has dimensions 5 cm and 6 cm. We must find xx.

2. Solution Steps

Since VV is a scaled drawing of WW, the ratio of corresponding sides must be equal.
So, we have
25=x6\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{6}
Multiply both sides by 6:
625=6x66 \cdot \frac{2}{5} = 6 \cdot \frac{x}{6}
125=x\frac{12}{5} = x
x=2.4x = 2.4

3. Final Answer

The value of xx is 2.4 cm.
