Question

The triangles are similar. What is the value of x?
Enter your answer in the box.
x =
two right triangles. the larger right triangle is labeled x on the longer leg, 12 on the shorter leg and 20 on the hypotenuse. the smaller triangle is labeled 4 on the longer leg, 3 on the shorter leg, and 5 on the hypotenuse.

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is $16\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and is called the scale factor

so

$\frac{12}{3} =\frac{x}{4}\\ \\x=12*4/3\\ \\x=16\ units$
