What is the value of x?
They are congruent triangles,
Ratio of their corresponding sides is 5:25, =1:5 (look for hypotenuse)
so, 5x = 18-x (same manner for variable one)
18 = 6x
x=3
SO, OPTION C IS THE ANSWER.
congruent triangles so therefor teh ratio are the same
5/x=25/(18-x)
multily both sies by (x(18-x))
5(18-x)=25x
90-5x=25x
add 5x to both sides
90=30x
divide both sides by 30
3=x
C is answer
