AHH! Geometry!

Thanks for this problem. Needed to refresh my skill for similarity and rations.

First, notice the lines that are on sides of the triangles. Lines with the same number of marks are the same measure. You may have already known this, but I'll just tell you for reference.

That means both of those pair of sides have equal length. What does this mean though?

Imagine that each of the line segments(the ones with two marks) are... 1 cookie (Their lengths, also, I really want a cookie.)

Now, this is where ratios come into play. Consider only the top triangle to the entire triangle. The Top Triangle has a side with the length of one cookie. That corresponding side on the entire large one is 2 cookies (because they are the same measure, and 1*2=2).

Thus, we can make a ratio, comparing the lengths of a corresponding sides.

(BTW, these are similar triangles, meaning that they have all the same angle measures, but different side lengths.)

Now. (Refer to above) Similar triangles have ratios of similarity. Meaning that: Corresponding sides have a 1/3 ratio. This means, also, that all the other corresponding sides have a 1/3 ratio. Neat, huh?

Putting into other words, we can compare CB and RT with the same 1/2 ratio!(Just cancel out the cookies, its still the same ratio)

Now, that we have all our needed information, let's solve!(Also, remember to match it up properly, or else it won't work: Small triangle side/Small Triangle side=Large Triangle Side/Large Triangle Side, or something like that).

So there you go! X is equal to 5. I'm sure you can solve the rest on your own!

Hope this helps!

Stay Safe! I'm going to get that cookie now...
