Question

Find the value of X:
A. 24
B. 48
C. 40
D. 960

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

given a line parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides, then it divides those sides proportionally , that is

`(32)/(x)` =
`(20)/(30)` =
`(2)/(3)` ( cross- multiply )

2x = 3 × 32 = 96 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 48
