Answer:
x = 2.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides of the similar triangles are proportional:
x/(x+3) = 8/18
18x = 8(x +3) . . . . . multiply by 18(x+3)
10x = 24 . . . . . . . . subtract 8x
x = 2.4 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
Answer:
√18+4√2 = 9.89949494
Step-by-step explanation:
11) Since the triangle has a pair of congruent base angles, it is an isosceles triangle which means that the two pairs of legs are congruent.
Make them equal to each other in an equation.
5x = x + 20
Subtract x from both sides.
4x = 20
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 5
12) The two legs are congruent so that means the base angles must be congruent. First find the measure of the base angles. Create an equation:
x + x + 50 = 180
Combine like terms.
2x + 50 = 180
Subtract 50 from both sides.
2x = 130
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 65
Now make the base angle plus x equal 180, because they form a straight line.
65 + x = 180
Subtract 65 from both sides.
x = 115
13) You know the vertex angle (top angle) is 90 degrees because it is supplementary to a right angle. The triangle is isosceles because the two legs are congruent, so make the base angles plus 90 add up to 180 in an equation.
x + x + 90 = 180
Combine like terms.
2x + 90 = 180
Subtract 90 from both sides.
2x = 90
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 45
Let, the first (smaller) number = x
Larger number = 8x
Then, 8x - x = 70
7x = 70
x = 70/7
x = 10
& 8(10) = 80
In short, Your Numbers would be, 10 & 80
Hope this helps!
I think it’s c but I could be wrong
