19
First, we need to determine which sides in the two triangles are corresponding. In the given triangles, the side lengths 32 are corresponding.
Set up the proportion:
38/24 = x/12
Cross multiply:
24x = 38 * 12
24x = 456
Divide by 24:
x = 19
Therefore, x = 19.
Solve for x
Triangle 1 has side lengths 38, 32, and x
Triangle 2 has side lengths 24, 32, and 12
