Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangles ABC and ADE are similar by AA (they share angle A and a right angle), their ratio of sides must be equal. Therefore:

$\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2}{x+2}$

Multiply both sides by 2:

$1=\dfrac{4}{x+2}$

Multiply both sides by x+2:

$x+2=4$

Subtract 2 from both sides:

$x=2$

Hope this helps!
