If one triangle has sides measuring 18 and 9, and the other triangle has sides measuring 4 and x, we can set up a proportion to find the value of x.
Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of corresponding sides will be equal. Thus, we can set up the following proportion:
18/9 = x/4
To solve for x, we cross-multiply:
(18)(4) = (9)(x)
72 = 9x
Dividing both sides by 9:
x = 8
Therefore, the value of x is 8.
