Answer

$x=67.5$ units $A=60^{\circ},B=95^{\circ}$ and $C=25^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

Similar triangle have corresponding angles that are equal. Thus, $A=60^{\circ},B=95^{\circ}$ and $C=25^{\circ}$. Corresponding sides are proportional so: $\dfrac{x}{45} = \dfrac{30}{20}$ Simplify. $\dfrac{x}{45} = \dfrac{3}{2}$ Multiply both sides by $45$. $x = 45\cdot \dfrac{3}{2}$ Simplify. $x = 67.5$ Therefore, the missing length is $67.5$ units and the missing angles are $A=60^{\circ},B=95^{\circ}$ and $C=25^{\circ}$.
