Remark
When you have two parallel lines cutting the sides of a triangle and one of them is the base of the triangle, then the 2 sides cut form a proportion. The safest way to handle this is to set up the proportion so that you are talking about sides of similar triangles..

Givens
BD || AE
CD = 16
CE = 16 + 4
CB = 12
CA = 12 + x

Set Up the Proportion
CD/CE = CB / CA

Substitute and Solve
16/20 = 12/(12 + x)                Cross multiply
16*(12 + x) = 20 * 12             Combine the right
16*(12 + x) = 240                   Remove the brackets.
192 + 16x = 240                     Subtract 192 from both sides.
16x = 240 - 192
16x = 48                                 Divide by 16
x = 48 / 16
x = 3

Please help on question 12 or 13 as soon as possible
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

to know the summation of angles: (n-2)*180

here (n) represent numbers of sides

12)we have 5 sides (n=5)

(5-2)*180=540

x=540-(105+135+92+87)=121

13)we have 8 sides (n=8)

(8-2)*180=1080

x=1080-(116+158+141+124+136+132+129)=144

I hope it will help

Explain please, I’ve been having trouble with this question
GuDViN [60]

Step-by-step explanation:

I didn't need the other angles, but right of the bat you can tell it's two right triangles back to back.

<em>y </em> has to be 90° , as you have noticed they already gave you 70° on the right side of the shape meaning if you were to add 90 which is why plus 70 what would that give you? 160.

the total interior for a triangles angles has to be 180°. if you do the math 180 - 160 you get the leftover 20° for x.

I suck at explaining stuff, hope this helps
