For the pair of similar​ triangles, find the value of x.

The value of x is 184.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the similar right angled triangle properties, the product of same side of triangles is equal to the another side product.

Now calculating the value of x for the given pair of similar​ triangles.

According to the given figure:

24 × (2x - 8) = 45 × (x + 8)

(24 × 2x) - (24 × 8) = (45 × x) + (45 × 8)

48x - 192 = 45x + 360

48x - 45x = 360 + 192

3x = 552

x = 184

Thus, the value of x is 184.
