The value of x is equal to 14.
 
Since the bottom side is equal to 3 of the small triangle and the side of the larger triangle is equal to 9, that means that it was dilated by a factor of 3, since 3 * 3 = 9
So, the other side of 5, of the smaller triangle needs to be also be dilated by a factor of 3, so the new side is 15.
The larger triangle tells us that the side is x + 1, but we know that it is equal to 15. Since they are the same, we make them equal and solve for x
So, 15 = x + 1
We subtract 1 to isolate x and we get
14 = x
So, x is equals to 14.
I hope this helps.
YOU'RE WELCOME :D

In the given figure, mBC =118°, mBE=76°, and m
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Correct option: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle BDC inscribe the arc mBC, so we have that:

mBDC = (1/2) * mBC

mBDC = (1/2) * 118 = 59°

From the secants relation in a circle, we have that:

mA = (1/2) * (mBC - mDE)

35 = (1/2) * (118 - mDE)

70 = 118 - mDE

mDE = 48°

The sum of the arcs is 360°, so we have:

mBC + mCD + mDE + mBE = 360

118 + mCD + 48 + 76 = 360

mCD = 360 - 118 - 48 - 76 = 118°

The angle mCBD inscribes the arc mCD, so we have:

mCBD = (1/2) * mCD = (1/2) * 118 = 59°

The angles mCBD and mBDC are equal, so the triangle is isosceles.

Correct option: A
