Answer:
[tex]x = 26[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The above triangles
Required
Find x
The two triangles are similar. So we make use of the following equivalent ratios, to solve for x
[tex]XZ : ZY = JL : LK[/tex]
Replace each side with their measurements
[tex]13 : 10 = x : 20[/tex]
Express as fraction
[tex]\frac{13}{10} = \frac{x}{20}[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]x = \frac{13}{10} * 20[/tex]
[tex]x = 1.3 * 20[/tex]
[tex]x = 26[/tex]
