\longmapstoThe value of "x" is 5.

\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}

Given that,

A trapezium ABCD in which AB || CD such that

  • AO = x - 1

  • CO = BO = x + 1

  • OD = x + 4

Now,

\rm In \: \triangle  \: AOB  \: and \: \triangle \:  COD

\rm  \: \angle  \: AOB  \: and \: \angle \:  COD \:  \:  \{vertically \: opposite \: angles \}

\rm  \: \angle  \:ABO  \: and \: \angle \:  CDO \:  \:  \{alternate \: interior \: angles \}

\bf \: \triangle  \: AOB \:  \sim \:  \triangle  \: COD \:  \:  \:  \{AA \: similarity \}

\bf\longmapsto\:\dfrac{AO}{CO}  = \dfrac{BO}{DO}

\rm \longmapsto\:\dfrac{x - 1}{x + 1}  = \dfrac{x + 1}{x + 4}

\rm \longmapsto\:(x - 1)(x + 4) =  {(x + 1)}^{2}

\rm \longmapsto\: {x}^{2} - x + 4x - 4 =  {x}^{2} + 1 + 2x

\rm \longmapsto\: 3x - 4 =  1 + 2x

\rm \longmapsto\: 3x  -  2x=  1 +4

\bf\longmapsto \:x = 5
