Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 12
the triangle was made smaller (i forget what the term is)
it was made smaller by [tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
to find that you divide 24 by its equivalent side on the other triangle which would be 18
24 / 18 = [tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
to find what x is equal to you have to find the equivalent side on the other triangle. this would be 16. since the triangle with 16 is bigger the equation is:
16 / [tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = 12
so x = 12
