Answer is 25

To find this you need to find the dilation ratio of one figure side to the other

Take the like sides of 5 and 12-1/2 compared to sides 10 and x

5 10

_ ____

12-1/2. X

Your dilation (make bigger) ratio from 5 to 10 is 2

So you do the same ratio to 12-1/2

Which gives you the answer of 25

I hope this helps!
