PLSS HELP!!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY FOR 100 POINTS

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

Answer 1

x = 13

Explanation:

If the triangles are similar, then the sides are in proportion:

`(x)/(52)=(5)/(20)` cross multiply

`20x=(52)(5)`

`20x=260` divide both side by 20

`x=13`

Answer 2

13

Explanation:

20/5 = 4

48/12 = 4

SF = 4

So

52/4 = 13
