ill attach a screenshot of the problem.

Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are clearly indentical, the ratio of their lenghts is constant
12/18 = x/13.5
x = 2/3 * 13.5
x = 27/3
x = 9
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation
ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar
∴ [tex]\frac{AC}{DE}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AB}{EF}[/tex]
∴ [tex]\frac{12}{18}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AB}{13.5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
∴ AB = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × 13.5 = 9
