Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
(segment piece) x (segment piece) = (segment piece) x (segment piece)
3x(x+1) = 4x(x)
Divide each side by x
3x(x+1)/x = 4x(x)/x
3(x+1) = 4x
Distribute
3x+3 = 4x
Subtract 3x
3x+3-3x= 4x-3x
3 =x
x = 3
0 is a rediculas answer 9 and 12 are to big.
The lines are supposed to have a simular length:
