Answer:

Mia is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The outer triangle and the inner triangle are similar ( AA postulate )

Then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion

[tex]\frac{2}{2+6} [/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{x} [/tex] , that is

[tex]\frac{2}{8} [/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{x} [/tex] ( cross- multiply )

2x = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 12
