What is the value of x?
Enter your answer in the box.
x =
cm

Answer:
The value of x is 7 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the figure, ∠BAO=∠CDO
we have to find the value of x
AO=6 cm
OC=42 cm
OD=36 cm
In ΔBAO and ΔCDO
∠BAO=∠CDO (Given)
∠AOB=∠COD (Vertically opposite angles)
By AA similarity theorem, ΔBAO ≈ ΔCDO
∴ corresponding sides are in proportion i.e
[tex]\frac{BO}{OC}=\frac{AO}{OD}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{42}=\frac{6}{36}[/tex]
[tex]x=7 cm[/tex]
The value of x is 7 cm
