Question

The triangles below are similar. What is the value of x ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangle ADE and triangle ABC are similar, that means their sides are proportional, thus we get the equation

$\frac{AD}{AB} =\frac{DE}{BC}$

$\frac{2}{6} = \frac{x}{12}$

$6x = 24\\x=4$

Thus the value of x is 4
