11)

Given data:

The given pair of traingles.

The expression for the ratio of the coorresponding sides is,

$\begin{gathered} (5)/(x)=(2)/(1) \\ 5=2x \\ x=2.5 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the value of x is 2.5.

13)

Given data:

The given pair of rectangles.

The expression for the ratio of the corresponding sides is,

$\begin{gathered} (3)/(x)=(4)/(6) \\ 18=4x \\ x=(18)/(4) \\ =4.5 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the value of x is 4.5.
