5. Find the value of x so that lines s and t are parallel. (7x - 20)° (4x + 16)
1 answer:
The value of x so that lines s and t are parallel is 12
<h3 /><h3>How to find angles involving parallel lines?</h3>The angle are alternate exterior angles.
Therefore, alternate exterior angle theorem states that when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the exterior angles formed on either side of the transversal are equal.
Hence,
7x - 20 = 4x + 16
7x - 4x= 16 + 20
3x = 36
x = 36 / 3
x = 12
Therefore, the value of x is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>Answer:-</h2><h3>Given ,</h3>The figure is Similar.
Observation:-
Similar figures have similar sides. If we see carefully in smaller triangle, 3 has been added to each side and they are similar. We need to find y.
We have :-
5+3=8 as similar sides.
So, applying same algorithm,
is the answer.
Hope it helps :)
