Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

16.

How to find... ↓

The small triangle is 1/3 size of the big triangle.

If this is the case, find the LCF here, 4, and multiply each angle's value by the least common factor, 4.

3 x 4 (bottom) = 12

5 x 4 (right side) = 20

4 x 4 (left side the missing side) = 16

Therefore,

The missing side value, x, is 16.

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

First, let's look at the sides that are given to us. We have 20 and 5.

How much bigger is 20 times 5?

20 ÷ 5 = 4

So, we know that the second triangle got smaller by 4 times. And the first triangle is bigger by 4 times.

Since we know its four times bigger:

4 × 4 = 16

x = 16

Therefore, 16 would be the right answer.
