OpenStudy (ganpat):

are you aware of similarity of triangles ??

mathslover (mathslover):

@Ganpat dude not a case of similarity or congruency but instead a ratio problem.. i do tink

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol its double 5 it has to be so x is 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But thats not a answer?

mathslover (mathslover):

@Nimwhitted ... so can you tell me : \[\large\frac{AF}{AC}=\frac{AD}{AB}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait lol x is 15 lol sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking it was 15

mathslover (mathslover):

First of all AF = 5 , AC = 9 AD = x - 5 BD = 8

OpenStudy (ganpat):

@mathslover : for taking ratios we do consider similarity na ??

mathslover (mathslover):

yes u r thinking right :

mathslover (mathslover):
