Hello there! :)

I'm encouraged to help you today!

Answer:

6.3 is correct

Explanation:

According to the attachment, The given figures are similar to each other therefore the sides are proportional to each other.


\tt(10.4)/(5.2) =(12.6)/(x)

Cross multiplying the values,


\tt 10.4 ×
\tt 5.2~x~12.6

Simplifying further,


\tt x=(5.2~x~12.6)/(10.4)


\tt x=(65.52)/(10.4)


\tt x=6.3

Thus the answer of x is 6.3.
