We can use the ratio of corresponding side lengths to find the value of x.
Looking at the shorter side lengths, we have:
x/16 = 22/18
Cross-multiplying, we get:
18x = 16 * 22
Simplifying, we find:
18x = 352
Dividing both sides by 18, we find:
x = 352/18
Simplifying further, we get:
x = 19.55
Therefore, the value of x is approximately 19.55.
