Answer:

[tex]x = 77[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]First \to Second[/tex]

[tex]35 \to x[/tex]

[tex]20 \to 44[/tex]

[tex]20 \to 44[/tex]

Required

Find x by SSS

Represent the triangle sides as a ratio

[tex]35 : x = 20 : 44[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]\frac{x}{35} = \frac{44}{20}[/tex]

Multiply by 35

[tex]x = \frac{44}{20} * 35[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{44 * 35}{20}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1540}{20}[/tex]

[tex]x = 77[/tex]
