To determine the value of x, we can use the property of similar triangles. Since the quadrilaterals are similar, the corresponding sides are proportional to each other.
Let's set up the proportion:
2/5 = 3.6/x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2x = 5 * 3.6
2x = 18
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 9
Therefore, the value of x is 9.
