Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{BC}{EF}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{CD}{FG}[/tex]

Note that ΔBCD is a 3- 4- 5 triangle ( Pythagorean triple), hence CD = 4

Substitute given values into the equation

[tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{x}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

3x = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 8
