Answer 2

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor from smaller triangle to larger triangle, is the ratio of corresponding sides, larger to smaller

scale factor = $\frac{14}{7}$ = 2

since the sides of the larger triangle are twice the smaller triangle, then

x = 23 ÷ 2 = 11.5
