Question

The triangles are similar. What is the value of x.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem use proportions. Just look for the right sides so the proportion be correct.

                  Sides of the small triangle = Sides of the big triangle

                                $\frac{x}{4} = \frac{12}{8}$

Solve for x

                               $x = \frac{4(12)}{8}$

Simplification

                               x = $\frac{48}{8}$

Result

                               x = 6
