Answer:

20

Option D is the correct option.

Explanation:

As they are similar, correspondence sides are in common ratios:


(x)/(10) = (10)/(5)

Apply cross product property


5x = 10 * 10

Multiply the numbers


5x = 100

Divide both sides of the equation by 5


(5x)/(5) = (100)/(5)

Calculate


x = 20

Hope this helps...
