Answer:


\displaystyle 18 = x

Explanation:

In the circumcentre of a triangle, you have perpendicular bisectors, therefore having midpoints EFD. This means that EC and EB are congruent:

30 = 2x - 6

+ 6 + 6

_________


\displaystyle (36)/(2) = (2x)/(2) \\ \\ 18 = x

BC is a double 15, so we set 30 equal to it.
