When two triangles are similar, then the ratios of their corresponding sides will be equal:

so 2.4/3 = 2.8/x = y/4.5

Use the ratio that involves the x and the two values that are given:

2.4/3 = 2.8/x

Then, solve the equation for x to find the missing side:

2.4/3 = 2.8/x

(2.4 / 3 ) x = 2.8

x = 2.8 / (2.4/3)

x = 3.5

The correct option is A.
