What is the value of x in the figure below? In this diagram, AABD ~ ACAD.
15
B
х
20

Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
(leg of big triangle)² = (part of hypotenuse below it) × (whole hypotenuse)
15² = x × 20
225 = 20x ( divide both sides by 20 )
[tex]\frac{225}{20}[/tex] = x , that is
x = [tex]\frac{45}{4}[/tex] → E
