Answer:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that ΔABC is similar to ΔDEF, thus using the similarity postulate, we have

[tex]\frac{CB}{EF}=\frac{AB}{ED}[/tex]

⇒[tex]\frac{24}{6}=\frac{20}{x}[/tex]

On Cross multiplying, we get

⇒[tex]x=\frac{20{\times}6}{24}[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=\frac{20}{4}[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=5[/tex]

Thus, the value of x will be 5.
