Answer:


(50)/(3)

Explanation:

Similar shapes have corresponding sides that are proportional.

So 20 corresponds to x (big to small).

So 12 corresponds to 10 (big to small).

Your information is already lined up for you to setup your proportion:


(20)/(12)=(x)/(10)

Cross multiply:


20(10)=12(x)

Simplify both sides:


200=12x

Divide both sides by 12:


(200)/(12)=x

Simplify by dividing top and bottom by 4:


(50)/(3)=x
