Question

Can someone help me with this math please?

Answer 1

Answer: x = 30

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, line EF corresponds to line JK

EF is 2.5 times bigger than JK

So the sides in the first triangle are 2.5 times bigger than the second triangle

Line FG corresponds to line KL so line FG / the value of X is 30 (12 * 2.5)

Write equation-
`(12.5)/(5) = (x)/(12)`

Divide-
`2.5 = (x)/(12)`

Multiply by 12-
`2.5(12) = (x)/(12)(12)`

Answer-
`30 = x`

so x = 30
