Question

The triangles are similar.

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

x = 13

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(x)/(52)` =
`(5)/(20)` ( cross- multiply )

20x = 260 ( divide both sides by 20 )

x = 13

Answer 2

I believe your answer would be

X = 13
