Answer 1

(B) is your awnser in the photo I provide will show you how to solve

Answer 2

The correct option for the value of x is: B

The proportionality relation

△BCD∼△ACE

`(BC)/(AC) = (CD)/(CE)`

`(5x)/(45) = (20)/(36)`

solve for x, you can cross-multiply:

​36 × 5x = 20×45

x = 5

Therefore, the correct option for the value of x is B) 5.
