Answer:

11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Triangle ACB is similar to Triangle EFD.

This means that their sides are proportional to each other.

We want to find x or side AB. To do so, we can set up a proportion.

The proportional side to AB is ED. Let's also use BC since we know its value. The proportional side to BC is DF. Thus:

[tex]\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BC}{DF}[/tex]

Substitute x for AB, 3.8 for Ed, 15 for BC, and 5 for DF. Thus:

[tex]\frac{x}{3.8}=\frac{15}{5}[/tex]

Reduce the right:

[tex]\frac{x}{3.8}=\frac{3}{1}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]x=11.4[/tex]

So, the value of x is 11.4

And we're done!
