Question

Select the correct answer. two triangles, abc and cde, share a common vertex c on a grid. in triangle abc, side ab is labeled 4x minus 1, side bc is labeled 4, side ac is labeled 5. in triangle cde, side cd is labeled 5, side de is labeled x plus 2, side ce is labeled 4. if geometry symbol represented as small triangle with three sides. abc a geometry symbol represented as small triangle with three sides. dec, what is the value of x? a. x = 8 b. x = 5 c. x = 4 d. x = 1 e. x = 2

Answer 1

The value of x based on the information given in the triangle is D. x = 1.

How to compute the value?

From the information given, it stated that the triangles are similar.

In this case, both triangles have side 4 and 5. Therefore, we are to find the last side. This will be:

4x - 1 = x + 2

Collect like terms

4x - x = 2 + 1

3x = 3

x = 3/3

x = 1

Therefore, the correct option is D.
