The correct option is Option D: the value of x is 8
What are similar triangles?
The triangles whose corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are in equal proportiion are called similar triangles.
If two triangles are similar
then a₁/a₂=b₁/b₂=c₁/c₂
where a₁, b₁, and c₁ are the sides of one triangle
a₂, b₂, and c₂ are the sides of another triangle
Here it is given that
triangles ΔJLK and ΔRJS are similar.
so by the property of similar triangles,
JR/JL = JS/JK = RS/KL
Given that JR=24
JL=32
JS=12
JK=2x
By using the property
JR/JL = JS/JK
⇒ 24/32 = 12/2x
⇒2x= 12*32/24
⇒2x=16
⇒x=16/2
⇒x=8
Therefore the value of x is 8.
