Respuesta :

BY the AA postulate, triangles ABC and APQ are similar.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are proportional.

This means that
AB/AP = BC/PQ

Substituting values, 
AB=15
AP=15+7.5=22.5
PQ=18
=>
15/22.5 = x / 18
solve for x
x=18(15/22.5)=18(2/3)=12

Answer: x=12

The value of x will be x=12. so option A is correct.

What do you mean by AA postulate?

Using the AA postulate, triangles ABC and APQ are similar.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides are proportional.

This means that

AB/AP = BC/PQ

Substituting values,

AB = 15

AP = 15 + 7.5 = 22.5

PQ = 18

Thus,

15/22.5 = x / 18

To solve for x

x = 18(15/22.5)

x = 18(2/3)

x =12

Hence, The value of x will be x=12. so option A is correct.
