For each part below, decide if the triangles are similar. If they are similar, use their similarity to solve for x. If they are not similar, explain why not?

Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 10.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, angles are similar because they share a vertical angle and two lines are parallels so there are two pairs of alternate interior angles.
Use proportions to solve this problem
[tex]\frac{x}{8} = \frac{8}{6}[/tex]
Solve for x
x = 8(8/6)
Simplification
x = 64/6
Result
x = 10.7
