Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the triangles are similar, we can find the value of x. It appears that the lighter triangle is dilated to be smaller than the darker triangle.

So, We would divide 48 by 6 to find the scale factor.

48 divided by 6 is 8.

Now, we divide 56 by 8 to find x.

56 divided by 8 is 7.

x is equal to 7.
