1. The value of x is 3.96

2. The value of x is 3.75

Similar triangles are triangles with equal corresponding side ratios and equal corresponding angles.

For two triangles to be Similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides must be equal.

Using similar triangles theorem;

1. x /6 = 3.3/5

5x = 19.8

x = 3.96

2. x/1.5 = 10/4

4x = 1.5 × 10

4x = 15

x = 15/4

x = 3.75
