Triangle ABC is similar to triangle FGH. What is the value of x in centimeters?

Answer 1

x = 22.5 cm

Explanation:

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

`(FH)/(AC)` =
`(GH)/(BC)` , substitute values

`(x)/(9)` =
`(12.5)/(5)` ( cross- multiply )

5x = 112.5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 22.5 cm
