In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

Triangle 1:

b = 15

h = 39

Triangle 2:

h = 36

x = ?

Step 02:

We must apply the rules of similar triangles to find the solution. .


(x)/(15)=(36)/(39)

39 * x = 15 * 36

x = (15 * 36 ) / 39

x = 13.8

The answer is:

x = 13.8
