Question

Solve the question for X.

Answer 1

`x = 2`

Explanation:

To solve for x in this problem, we can equate ratios comparing the corresponding side lengths of the given similar triangles.

`(9)/(9 + 4.5) = (x)/(3)`

↓ multiply both sides by 3

`3\cdot (9)/(13.5) = x`

↓ simplify

`(27)/(13.5) = x`

`\boxed{2 = x}`
