Answer:
x = 14.48
Step-by-step explanation:
first we have to see that we have the measurements from all sides
and we know that the angle between side 21 and 20 is 90 degrees
well to start we have to know the relationships between angles, legs and the hypotenuse.
a: adjacent
o: opposite
h: hypotenuse
sin α = o/h
cos α= a/h
tan α = o/a
let's take the left angle as α
sin α = 21/29
α = sin^-1 (21/29)
α = sin^-1 (0.7241)
α = 46.397
Now we do the same with the smaller triangle
tan α = o/a
sin 46.397 = x/20
0.724 = x/20
0.724 * 20 = x
14.48 = x
x = 14.48
if we want to check it we can do the same procedure with the other angle

Answer:
different
Step-by-step explanation:
different slopes gives one solution
same slopes with different constant has no solution
same slopes and constants has many solutions
