In Fig.(a),
In Fig.(b),
Explanation:
In Similar Triangles, the corresponding sides are in proportion.
In Fig.(a), the small triangle ling inside the big one is similar to each other.
Hence,
In Fig.(b), #x/15=12/21 rArr x=180/21~=8.57
In Figure (a):
In Figure (b):
Explanation:
Figure (a)
I have assumed that the lines labelled with
Reproducing the figure (a) with labelled vertices for reference purposes:
Notice the similar triangles:

Figure (b)
Similarly in figure (b) I have had to assume that sides with lengths
Again, reproducing the image with labelled vertices:
