Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{RS}{MN}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{RT}{MO}[/tex], that is

[tex]\frac{8}{x}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6.5}{13}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

6.5x = 104 ( divide both sides by 6.5 )

x = 16
