Find all possible values of x in the similar triangles pqr stu

Mathematics
1 answer:
antoniya [11.8K]2 years ago
5 0
If triangles PQR and STU are similar then PQ corresponds to ST and PR corresponds to SU. Therefore, PQ/ST=PR/SU
Considering that, PQ= 7-x, ST= 13-x, PR= x²+5 and SU= x² +20
therefore, (7-x)/(13-x)= (x²+5)/(x²+20) 
               cross multiplying,
         7x² +140-x³+20x =13x²+65-x³-5x
combining the like terms,
          6x² +15x -75=0
          solving for x,
    x = 5/2 or -5

PLS ANSWER !!!! <br><br> what is the formula when finding the slope given in two ordered pairs
Katarina [22]

Answer: Since you already know that the ordered pair is in the format of (x, y), then you can label one of the ordered pairs as 1 and kind of distribute it to get 1(x, y) = (x-sub1, y-sub1). Then just use the slope formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
