Answer:

X=42

Explanation:

when the question says that ABCD ~ EFGH that's just saying that they are equal.

AB = 16 FE = 10 the first shape has sides that are 6 longer than the second shape.

next, to find X in FG, it's going to be BC - 6 = X - 4 = FG (aka 30 - 6 = 42 - 4 = 20).

i hope thought this out right for you, and hope that helps. :)
