Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for three sides to make a triangle, if any two sides are added together, their sum should be greater than the third side:

=> 5 + 7 = 12 < 13 (DOES NOT check off the rule)

=> 7 + 13 = 20 > 5 (Checks off the rule)

=> 5 + 13 = 18 > 7 (Checks off the rule)

As shown, even though 2 of the statements check off the rule the third one does not, this means that the sides don't make a triangle.

Hope this helps!

Can someone please help me

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two triangles are similar, then corresponding sides must share a constant ratio. This means that:

$\dfrac{10}{6}=\dfrac{25}{15}=\dfrac{x}{12}$

Let's use the second ratio:

$\dfrac{25}{15}=\dfrac{x}{12}$

Multiply both sides by 12:

$\dfrac{25\cdot 12}{15}=x \\\\x=20$

Hope this helps!
