12 m 20 m 16 m 6m 10m x find the length represented by x for each pair of similar triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two triangles be represented as A and B.

Given two triangles with sides 12m 20m 16m and 6m 10m x.

Lengths of sides of triangle A = 12m, 20m, 16m

Lengths of sides of triangle B = 6m, 10m, x

It can be seen that each length of triangle A are twice that of B i.e triangle B dilated by a factor of 1/2.

A = 2B

Considering the 16m length in triangle A  and comparing it with the 'x'm length in triangle B, we can get the unknown length x as shown;

16 = 2x

x = 16/2

x = 8m

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
