The value of the variable x is 3/4

<h3>What are congruent segments</h3>

Congruent segment are segments with equal or congruent lengths.

From the information given, we have that line AB is approximately equal to line BC. This is represented as;

AB = BC

Where;

  • AB = 4x + 7
  • BC = 20x - 7

Now, let's equate the expressions

4x + 7 = 20x - 5

collect like terms

4x - 20x = - 5 - 7

- 16x = - 12

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = -12/-16

x = 3/4

Thus, the value of the variable x is 3/4

How do I find this help please
KIM [24]
Area of the sector = 1/2 * r^2 * theta where theta is the angle subtended by the arc at the center  ( in radians)

In this case m < theta = 360 - 235 = 125 degrees or  2.182 radians

So, the area of shaded area = 1/2 * 20^2 * 2.182 =   436.4 in^2
