Set this up as a proportion \( \huge \frac{18}{10} =\frac{x}{5} \) Now just solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the value of x in the equation I gave you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In similar triangles, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal. Therefore, \[\frac{ x }{ 18 }=\frac{ 5 }{ 10 }\] Solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):
