Triangle APC is similar to triangle YKM


(3x+11)/(12)=(2x-9)/(32)
\begin{gathered} 32(3x+11)=12(2x-9) \\ 96x+352=24x-108 \\ 96x-24x=-352-108 \\ 72x=-460 \\ x=-6.38 \end{gathered}

I was calculating this question. However, there is an inconsistency in the APC triangle. No side can be larger than the hypotenuse in a triangle.
