Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

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

`(FG)/(MN)` =
`(GH)/(NP)` , substitute values

`(12)/(x)` =
`(20)/(10)` = 2 ( multiply both sides by x )

12 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

6 = x
