Question

If triangles ADE and ABC shown in the figure are similar, what is the value of x?

  1. 4
  2. 6
  3. 9
  4. 18

hintHint:

In  similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional, and angles are equal.

The correct answer is: 6


    In  similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional, and angles are equal.
    So,
    fraction numerator B C over denominator E D end fraction space equals space fraction numerator A B over denominator A D end fraction
12 over X space equals space 6 over 2
12 over X space equals space 3
X equals space 4 space A N S W E R
