Yes, you are correct.
From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.
All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).
We can gather the following information from the given information.
- The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
- The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9
We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:
12/x = x/9
Using the cross product property gives us:
x² = 9 × 12
x² = 108
Taking the square root of both sides gives us:
x = √108
= 6 √3
Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

I hope it will be useful.
Step-by-step explanation:
7Q. angle1=angle3 (Alternate Interior Angles)
angle2=angle4 (A.I.A.)
angleXWZ=angleXYZ (opposite angles of a parallelogram)
By A.A.A. congruence criteria, they are congruent.
8Q. Hint: Make the diagram first!
AngleC is halved since M is the mid-point.
angleA=angleB (Property of an isosceles triangle)
which implies, angleAMC=angleBMC=90°
Thus, CM is perpendicular to AB.
I hope it will be useful.
