Answer:


x=16(2)/(3)

Explanation:

Since the rectangles are similar, that means that corresponding sides are proportional. Therefore, the ratio of similitude is 5/3 (GH and CD are corresponding sides and the ratio between their lengths is 5/3). If the ratio of similitude is 5/3 and two corresponding sides are m and 10, then we can make an equation:


(m)/(10)=(5)/(3)

Cross-multiply to get:


3m=50

Thus, m =
(50)/(3) which is
16(2)/(3) .

Hope this helps :)
