Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
These shapes are mathematically similar as line BR and QC are parallel.
To find the scale factor:
First we find the length of BD by adding 26 and 39:
26+39 = 65
So to get from BD to BQ :
We multiply by :
26/65 = 0.4
So to get from RD to CD:
We do
18÷0.4 = 45
Then we subtract 18 from 45 to get x:
45-18 = 27
Therefore the value of x is 27
