Answer: The value of x is 184.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the similar right angled triangle properties, the product of same side of triangles is equal to the another side product.
Now calculating the value of x for the given pair of similar triangles.
According to the given figure:
24 × (2x - 8) = 45 × (x + 8)
(24 × 2x) - (24 × 8) = (45 × x) + (45 × 8)
48x - 192 = 45x + 360
48x - 45x = 360 + 192
3x = 552
x = 184
Thus, the value of x is 184.
