In this question, the two triangles are similar, so we have to use the similarity property of triangle which is
Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are in same proportion .
So we get
9/x = 10/12.5
Performing cross multiplication
10 x = 9*12.5
x = 11.25
So the correct option is the first option .
The triangles are similar
So, ratio of similar sides is equal
So, [tex] \frac{x}{9} =\frac{12.5}{10} [/tex]
To get the value of x , let us multiply by 9 on both sides
[tex] 9*\frac{x}{9} =9*\frac{12.5}{10} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{1x}{1} =\frac{12.5*9}{10} [/tex]
x=[tex] \frac{112.5}{10} [/tex]
x=11.25 Option A
