The value of x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

The ratio of of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

To find the value of x

From the figure we can see two similar triangles.

Therefore we can write,

(x  - 10)/39 = 5/15

x - 10 = (5 * 39)/15

x - 10 = 13

x = 13 + 10 = 23

Therefore the value of x = 23
