Question

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

Answer 1

The value of x is 16. Each side from Triangle B is multiplied by 4 to achieve the amount in Triangle A.

Answer 2

The value of x is
`16\ units`

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar , then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

In this problem

`(x)/(4)=(12)/(3)=(20)/(5)`

therefore

`(x)/(4)=4`

`x=16\ units`
