I'm sorry, but I cannot see the triangles you mentioned. In order to determine the value of x in similar triangles, I would need more information or a visual representation of the triangles.
The similar triangle has A, 8, B on the left side on the bottom of the triangle is 6 and on the end is C. The other Triangle has D, 24, and E on the left side of the triangle The bottom is blank and F is on the end.
Thank you for providing more information. Based on the given details, we can set up the proportion:
AB/DE = BC/EF
Since AB = 8, DE = 24, and BC = 6, the proportion becomes:
8/24 = 6/EF
To solve for EF, we can cross-multiply:
8 * EF = 6 * 24
8EF = 144
Dividing both sides by 8:
EF = 18
Therefore, the value of x (EF) is 18.
AB/DE = BC/EF
Since AB = 8, DE = 24, and BC = 6, the proportion becomes:
8/24 = 6/EF
To solve for EF, we can cross-multiply:
8 * EF = 6 * 24
8EF = 144
Dividing both sides by 8:
EF = 18
Therefore, the value of x (EF) is 18.
