Find the value of x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate y:

y^2+8^2=12^2

y^2+64=144          <em>subtract 64 from both sides</em>

y^2=80\to y=\sqrt{80}

Two smaller triangles are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{y}{8}           <em>cross multiply</em>

y^2=8x       <em>substitute y² = 80</em>

80=8x               <em>divide both sides by 8</em>

x=10
