Question

The triangles are similar by the AA Similarly Postulate. Find the value of x.

Answer 1

6/8 = 9/x
6x = 72
x = 12

answer
x = 12

Answer 2

Answer: The value of x =12

Explanation:

Given : The triangles are similar by the AA Similarly Postulate.

We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

Then from the given figure , we have

`(6)/(6+2)=(9)/(x)\\\\\Rightarrow(6)/(8)=(9)/(x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(9*8)/(6)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=12`

Hence, the value of x =12
