Answer is 25


To find this you need to find the dilation ratio of one figure side to the other


Take the like sides of 5 and 12-1/2 compared to sides 10 and x


5 10


_ ____


12-1/2. X



Your dilation (make bigger) ratio from 5 to 10 is 2


So you do the same ratio to 12-1/2


Which gives you the answer of 25


I hope this helps!
