Answer:

C. - X = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for x from the given figure.

In ΔADB and ΔCDB

 ∠ABD=∠BCD         (Corresponding angle of two right triangle)

 ∠ADB=∠CDB         (Each 90°)

∴  ΔADB ≈ ΔCDB  By AA similarity

If two triangles are similar then ratio of their corresponding height are same.

Substitute the value of side into the expression

Cross multiply and solve for x

x can't be negative because side of triangle is positive.

Hence, The value of x is 5 units.
