Question

Solve for x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Answer: 13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees, we know that in triangle UWV, $m\angle U=50^{\circ}$. Thus, the triangles are similar by AA.

Since corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

$\frac{x}{24}=\frac{20}{36}\\x=(20/36)(24)=\boxed{13.3}$
