Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
(b)
Since the triangles are similar then the ratio of corresponding sides are equal, that is
[tex]\frac{CB}{DE}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AC}{AD}[/tex] , substitute values
[tex]\frac{x}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{10}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
10x = 160 ( divide both sides by 10 )
x = 16
