Question

Ik rp because the i forgot the sc

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric mean problem...a ratio. The geometric mean is the height of the triangle, 6. To solve:

$\frac{x}{6} =\frac{6}{3}$ and cross multiply to solve for x:

3x = 36 so

x = 12

Answer 2

Answer: x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 2 right angles. This means that there must be a ratio involved. a/b=a/b.

In the smaller triangle, a=3, b=6, so the ratio is 3/6.

In the larger triangle, a=6, b=x, so the ratio is 6/x.

Place them equal to each other to solve.

$\frac{3}{6} = \frac{6}{x}$

Use the butterfly method to solve (cross-multiply).

$3x=36$

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable

$x=12$

There's your answer! Hope this helps :))
