Question

The triangles shown are similar. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

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

`(x)/(5)` =
`(6)/(3)` = 2 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

x = 10

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

The bigger triangle is 2 times larger than the smaller triangle meaning all of the value of the smaller triangle are 2 times smaller than the bigger triangle and the bigger triangle is 2 times larger than the smaller triangle
