The value of x is 4.5.
The sides of the triangles are labeled as follows:
* Triangle 1: 12, b, x
* Triangle 2: 16, 9, 6
To solve for x, you can set up a proportion between the corresponding sides of the two triangles. The corresponding sides are:
* Triangle 1: x and 12
* Triangle 2: 6 and 16
The proportion can be written as:
x/12 = 6/16
Cross-multiplying gives:
16x = 72
Solving for x, we get:
x = 4.5
Therefore, the value of x is 4.5.
