Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
Note that ΔBCD is a 3- 4- 5 triangle ( Pythagorean triple), hence CD = 4
Substitute given values into the equation
= 
( cross- multiply )
3x = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 8
The following problem could be expresses as
c=1/3b or 3c=b
