I can’t tell which value of x works without the side lengths of the two triangles (or a picture). Please either paste the diagram or list the three side lengths of each triangle (mark which side contains x).
How to solve it once you give the side lengths:
- If triangle A has sides a, b, c and triangle B has sides a', b', c' with x on one of them, SSS similarity requires a/a' = b/b' = c/c' (all three ratios equal).
- Solve the equation(s) for x (or test each multiple-choice value by plugging it in and checking whether the three ratios are equal).
If you post the side lengths or image I will compute which of {1.5, 20, 30, 67.5} makes the ratios equal.
