x\text{ = 10}

Here, we want to find the value of x

From the question, we have that the two triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar, the the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Thus, we have it that;


\begin{gathered} (24)/(30)\text{ = }(8)/(x) \\ \\ 24\text{ }*\text{ x = 30}*8 \\ x\text{ =}(30*8)/(24) \\ x\text{ = 10} \end{gathered}
