Question

Help me pleaseeeee somebody ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

In similarity triangles angles are congruent.

∠D = ∠A

x² - 8x = 48

x² - 8x  - 48 = 0

x² + 4x  - 12x - 48 = 0

x(x + 4) - 12(x + 4) = 0

(x +4)(x - 12) = 0

x - 12 = 0     {Ignore x + 4 = 0, as measurements won't have negative values}

x = 12
