ANSWER:


\begin{equation*} 8(1)/(4)\text{ in} \end{equation*}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Recall that if two figures are similar, then their corresponding sides are in equal proportion.

So we can go ahead and solve for x as seen below;


\begin{gathered} (3)/(x)=(1)/(2(3)/(4)) \\ \\ (3)/(x)=(1)/((11)/(4)) \\ \\ (3)/(x)=(4)/(11) \\ \\ 4x=3*11 \\ \\ x=(33)/(4) \\ \\ x=8(1)/(4)\text{ in} \end{gathered}
