Question

Can someone please help me find out the valu of X?

Answer 1

To determine the value of x, you have to apply the Thales theorem. Which states that the line segments determined by the parallel lines are at the same ratio, so that:

`(x)/(28)=(8)/(16)`

From this expression, you can determine the value of x. Multiply both sides f the equal sign by 28 to calculate the value of x:

`\begin{gathered} 28\cdot(x)/(28)=28\cdot(8)/(16) \\ x=14 \end{gathered}`

The value of x is equal to 14
