Answer:
Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
answer : ALTITUDE , x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The type of segment shown in Blue is ALTITUDE segment
This is because
Angle BCD = Angle CEG (opposite angles)
Angle ACD= Angle CFG (opposite angles)
Angle ADC = Angle BCD= Angle CEG = Angle CFG
It can be seen that the triangles are similar hence
18/27=16/x
therefore X =24
