Question

Find the value of x.

Answer 1

9.6 because your finding the radius of the inside

Answer 2

x=9.6

Explanation:

First, we have to find a similarity statement including x with 3 other values. One that we can do is long leg/hypotenuse=long leg/hypotenuse. If we use the small triangle we can get x/12 (x being long leg, 12 being hypotenuse), and using the big triangle we can get 16/20 (16 being long, 12 being hypotenuse). So, if x/12=16/20, we can solve and get that x=9.6
