Step-by-step explanation:
the angle ABC = 180 - x, as ABD and ABC are complementary angles on top of the bottom line : all angles around a point on one side of a line are always adding up to 180 degrees.
but because we also know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 degrees too, we can say
180 = ACB + ABC + CAB
180 = y + 180 - x + CAB
0 = y - x + CAB
x = y + CAB
x - y = CAB
therefore, the second answer option is correct.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You are to assume in both problems that the two triangles are similar. That is a very dangerous assumption -- especially in later math classes. But in this case, there is no other way to do the problem. The two sets of triangles look like they are proportional. So set up two ratios that are = to each other
On the left
long side small triange / long side large triangle = base small triangle / base large triangle
On the right
hypotenuse/longest leg = hypotenuse / longest leg.
Problem A
Set up the similar Proportion
5/40 = x/20 Cross Multiply
40x = 20*5
40x = 100 Divide by 40
x = 100/40
x = 2.5
Problem B
Again set up the similar triangle proportion
15/10 = x/2 Multiply by 2
15*2/10 = x
3 = x
