Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above diagram, we can see that the right angled triangle has been split into two by drawing a line from the altitude.
This would really in the following ratios or proportions below
25 : x = x : 9
25/x = x/9
Cross Multiply
x² = 25 × 9
x² = 225
x = √225
x = 15
