Figure 2.
The combined area of the four triangles is equal to the area of the large white
square.
In each triangle, the length of side a plus the length of side b equals the length
of side c. That means that a² + b2 = c?.
In each figure the total area is equal and the area of the 4 triangles is equal, so
the remaining white area in each fiqure must also be equal

your answer is a

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

i would say b) is your answer
