I don't need the answer I just need to know how I would write this out? I have to find the variable and I need to write it as proportions so I can figure it out...

x = 0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

On the shorter sides, they increase by two (goes from two to four)

So, you can assume that the longer side on the bigger rectangle is equal to 12

16x + 2 = 12

subtract 2 on both sides

16x = 10

Divide by 16 on both sides

x = 0.625

You can check by

16(0.625) + 2 = 12

I hope this helps!!

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value
