Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

From what we can see in the diagram, the smaller triangle dimensions were dilated by a factor of 3

So to get the dimensions of the smaller from the bigger or larger triangle, we proceed to divide what we have on the larger triangle by 3

Kindly note that we do this for the comparable sides

Mathematically, we can have x as;

30/3 = 10
