Step-by-step explanation:

${2}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {6}^{2} \\ 4 + {x}^{2} = 36 \\ {x}^{2} = 36 - 4 \\ {x}^{2} = 32 \\ x = \sqrt{32}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to know is that when two triangles are similar their sides will always be proportional. So we will create a proportion that goes like this... $\frac{\Delta1side}{\Delta1base} =\frac{\Delta2side}{\Delta2base}$ but since it doesn't tell us the exact value of triangle 1. We will have to add 3 and 12 to get 15 which is the base of the first triangle. Now we're ready to write the proportion.
