Question

Can you help me pleeeeaaassee??

Answer 1

Error 1: DT / TS × CT / TR which is the first error. We can fix the error by writing the correct equation RT / TD = ST / TC, Error 2: The second error is 7 / 16 × (x - 1) / 14 and we can fix the error by writing the equation 14 / 7 = 16 / (x - 1), Error 3:The third error is the value of x and we can find the correct value of x from the equation 14 / 7 = 16 / (x - 1) and the value of x is 9.

Given: The diagram is given and we need to find the errors and then fix them. Also ΔTSR ≈ ΔTCD

Let's solve the given question:

Given that ΔTSR ≈ ΔTCD

So we know by the properties of the similarity that if two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal.

So, ΔTSR ≈ ΔTCD

=> RT / TD = ST / TC

=> 14 / 7 = 16 / (x - 1)

In the question, we can observe that the given side ratio is DT / TS × CT / TR which is the first error. We can fix the error by writing the correct equation RT / TD = ST / TC.

The second error is 7 / 16 × (x - 1) / 14 and we can fix the error by writing the equation 14 / 7 = 16 / (x - 1).

The third error is the value of x.

We can find the correct value of x from the given equation:

14 / 7 = 16 / (x - 1)

=> 2 = 16 / (x - 1)

Multiplying both sides by (x - 1):

(x - 1) × 2 = 16 / (x - 1) × (x - 1)

=> 2(x - 1) = 16

Multiplying both sides by 1 / 2:

2(x - 1) × 1 / 2= 16 × 1 / 2

=> x - 1 = 8

Adding 1 on both sides:

x - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1

x = 9

Therefore x = 9.

Hence the errors are:

Error 1: DT / TS × CT / TR which is the first error. We can fix the error by writing the correct equation RT / TD = ST / TC

Error 2: The second error is 7 / 16 × (x - 1) / 14 and we can fix the error by writing the equation 14 / 7 = 16 / (x - 1).

Error 3:The third error is the value of x and we can find the correct value of x from the equation 14 / 7 = 16 / (x - 1) and the value of x is 9.
