Solve For X Round To The Nearest Tenth If Necessary class=

Answer :

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, both the triangles (small and large) given in the picture are similar,

Their corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.

By applying this property,

[tex]\frac{20}{36}= \frac{30}{30+(x+5)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{9}= \frac{30}{x+35}[/tex]

5(x + 35) = 9 × 30

5x + 175 = 270

5x = 270 - 175

5x = 95

x = [tex]\frac{95}{5}[/tex]

x = 19
