Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

If triangles are similar then they have a scale factor. That is the factor that is being multiplied to each of the sides to create a new set of sides.

We need to find the scale factor between Triangle ABC and Triangle DEF.

We can use Sides AC and DF to determine the scale factor.

It would be 27/9 = 3

So all the sides in triangle DEF are 3 times the length of those in triangle ABC

this means that the side with x cm is just 3 × 5 which is 15 cm.

HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE DAY! And hope you understood!
