Answer:

? = 45

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, we can use proportions

20 20+8

------- = -------

? ? + 18

20 28

------- = -------

? ? + 18

Using cross products

20 ( ? +18) = = ? * 28

Distribute

20 ? + 360 = 28 ?

Subtract 20 ? from each side

360 = 8?

Divide each side by 8

360/8 = ?

45 = ?
