Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay first set a comparison since the two triangles are similar
x-1/20=x-1+27/3x+8
x-1/20 = x+26/3x+8
cross multiply
20x+520=3x^2+8x-3x-8
3x^2-15x-528=0
3(x^2-5x-176)=0
im kinda lazy to factor this out so i used an online calculator right here but factor it out like a good kid
x=16, x=-11
it has to be positive so x=16
C
I've actually just learned this. We would set up the proportion as X/9=36/X so after we cross multiply we get x^2=324. Then we find the square root of both sides to simplify. And using my calculator the square root of x^2 is just x. And the square root of 324 is 18. So the final answer is x=18 or the geometric mean is 18.
