Answer:

x = 24 (Answer B)

Explanation:

Notice that the side lengths of the first (larger) triangle are twice (2x) the corresponding sides of the second (smaller) triangle.

Thus the length of x is half of the corresponding side in the larger triangle, that is: x = half of 48, or x = 24 (Answer B)

Answer:

24

Explanation:

Each side from triangle AHM to triangle DPL is divided by 2

32/2 = 16

40/2 = 20

Therefore, 48 / 2 = 24
