Answer:

X = 24

Explanation:

Since the two triangles are similar such that one is twice the other, twice of 9 is 18; and thus twice of 12 equals 24.

Answer:

x = 20

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is


(x)/(12) =
(15)/(9) ( cross- multiply )

9x = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 20
