Magnification of figures is a process of...

Magnification of figures is a process of enlarging the apparent size, not the physical size, of something. The enlarged figure is quantified by a calculated number. If two triangles are similar then their corresponding sides are in the same ratio. Basically a bigger triangle is a enlargement of the smaller triangle. This basic rule of similar triangles is applicable in solving many real life problems like relating the height and shadow length of various objects at a particular instant in a day.
Evaluate x, by considering the figure below.

A

12 ft

B
