Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar the ratios of corresponding sides are equal
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
20(4x + 2) = 84x
80x + 40 = 84x ( subtract 80x from both sides )
40 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 10
Answer:
x=0
Step-by-step explanation:
120521x=0
x=0/120521=0
Start with

We observe that both fractions are not defined if
. So, we will assume
.
We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:

We multiply both sides by
:

We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:

We check the solution:

which is true
Area of trapezoid : (Base 1 + base 2) x h x 1/2
Let's solve!
( 2+6) x 5 X1/2
= 40x1/2
=20
20 in squared is the area!
