Answer:
X = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, divide 5 by 3 to find the scale factor:
5/3 = 1.667
Now, multiply 4.5 by 1.667 to find x:
x = (4.5)(1.667)
x = 7.5
Therefore, x is equal to 7.5.

By using pythagoras theorem where
(Base)^2 +(perpedicular)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2
So,
(5)^2 +(12)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2
25 + 144 = (hypotenuse)^2
169 = (hypotenuse)^2
13 = hypotenuse
So, hypotenuse = 13
