उत्तर

In the given figure, the value of (x) is 30.

Explanation:

In Δ AOB and Δ DOC

⇒ ∠AOB = ∠DOC (Vertically opposite angles are equal)

⇒ ∠BAO = ∠DCO (Alternate angles are equal)

⇒ ∠ABO = ∠CDO (Alternate angles are equal)

∴ Δ AOB ∼ Δ COD (By AAA postulate)

We know that,

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

∴ `(AO)/(CO)​ = (OB)/(OD)​`

⇒ `18/12​ = x/20​`

⇒ x = `18/12 × 20`

​⇒ x = `360/12`

⇒x = 30
