Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

This is a similar triangle problem

Therefor two sides of triangle A are in the same proportion as two sides of triangle B

----------------------------

Triangle A

Short leg = x

Long leg = 60

proportion = x/60

Triangle B

Short Leg = 60

Long leg = 144

proportion = 60/144

Therefor

x/60 = 60/144

multiply both sidees by 60

x = 60*60/144

x = 25
