Theorem: A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two

Answer: Segment BD = 15

Step-by-step explanation: Ok. So, we know that segment DE is parallel to segment BC and segment EF is parallel to segment AB. The triangle proportionality theorem states that if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and also intersects the other two sides, the line divides the sides proportionally. To put it more simply; because segment EF is parallel to segment AB, triangles ADE and EFC are proportional and similar. From there we must find the scale factor by which these two triangles are proportional.

We can do this by dividing the corresponding segments by; each other.

24 ÷ 20 = 1.2

Scale Factor = 1.2

Then we divide segment AD (18) by the scale factor (1.2).

18 ÷ 1.2 = 15

Since segment EF is parallel to segment AB, segment EF corresponds and is congruent to segment DB.

So,

Segment BD = 15

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+45+x=180

Combine 2x and x to get 3x.

3x+45=180

Subtract 45 from both sides.

3x=180−45

Subtract 45 from 180 to get 135.

3x=135

Divide both sides by 3.

x=135/3

Divide 135 by 3

x=45
