[tex] \large \tt Solution \: : [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: \sin( Theta) = \cfrac{Opposite \:\: side}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: \sin( \Theta) = \cfrac{3}{8} [/tex]

since the Triangles are similar, ratio of their corresponding sides are equal :

[tex]\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: \sin( \Theta) = \cfrac{3}{8} = \dfrac{x}{16} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:x = 16 \sdot \cfrac{3}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = 2 \sdot3[/tex]
