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.
