Mathematically, when two shapes are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Thus, we have it that;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{3}=\text{ }\frac{8}{12} \\ \\ 12\times\text{ x = 8}\times3 \\ 12x\text{ = 24} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{24}{12} \\ x\text{ =2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, what we can see here is that he set up the wrong proportion
