Answer:

x = 10 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

These triangles are based on proportions. 12 yd is proportional to 18 yd, and x yd to 15 yd. We want to find x. We'll use the rule of three to calculate the unknown number.

12/18 = x/15

x = (12 · 15)/18

x = 10 yd (10 yards from the hut to the gold coins)
