Answer:

c.) 6

Explanation:

here angle is same for both diagrame 75 and 55 so

we can apply the equality on the side

so AB/AC = PQ/PR

so 20/24 = 5 /x

X=(5*24)/20

x=6

so ans=6

Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, we can use ratios to solve

20 24

--------- = ---------

5 x

Using cross products

20x = 24*5

20x = 120

Divide each side by 20

20x/20 = 120/2

x = 6
