Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

The value of x in the triangle is 10 units

Using the concept of similar triangles , we can create a proportional relationship thus ;

• KL = GJ
• HK = HG

Inputting our values into the relation;

12 = 18

x = 15

cross multiply

18x = 15 × 12

18x = 180

x = 180/18

x = 10

Hence, the value of x is 10 units
