Use a proportion to find the length of X.The longer triangle has 16 on the left side,6 on the bottom inside it says 120 degrees and at the top it says 25 degrees.The smaller triangle says x on the right, 5 on the bottom 120 degrees in the middle and 25 degrees on the top.

A.10 1/3
B. 13 1/3
C. 12
D. 15
Is the answer A?

The answer is b 13 1/3

yeetos Katie pickle is correct

Well, to find the length of X, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the triangles. Let's call the length of X "x".

In the larger triangle, we have the ratio:
16 / 6 = x / 5

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
16 * 5 = 6 * x
80 = 6x

Now, divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:
x = 80 / 6

Simplifying the fraction, we get:
x ≈ 13 1/3

So, the answer is B: 13 1/3. Nice try though, clown up your next math problem!

To find the length of side X, we can set up a proportion based on the fact that the triangles are similar.

First, let's identify the corresponding sides and angles in the two triangles:
- In the larger triangle, the side opposite the 120-degree angle is 16, the base is 6, and the angle opposite the base is 25 degrees.
- In the smaller triangle, the corresponding side opposite the 120-degree angle is X (the unknown we want to find), the base is 5, and the angle opposite the base is also 25 degrees.

Using these correspondences, we can set up the proportion:

(16/6) = (X/5)

To solve for X, we cross multiply and solve for X:

6X = 16 * 5
6X = 80
X = 80/6
X = 40/3

So, the length of X is 40/3 or approximately 13.33.

The closest answer among the options provided is B. 13 1/3. So, the answer is B.
