Answer

Find out the value of x .

To proof

SAS congurence property

In this property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal.

in the Δ ADC and ΔBDC

(1) CD = CD (common side of both the triangle)

(2) ∠CDA = ∠ CDB = 90 °

( ∠CDA +∠ CDB = 180 ° (Linear pair)

as given in the diagram

∠CDA  = 90°

∠ CDB = 180 ° - 90°

∠ CDB = 90°)

(3) AD = DB (as shown in the diagram)

Δ ADC ≅ ΔBDC

by using the SAS congurence property .

AC = BC

(Corresponding sides of the congurent triangle)

As given

the length of AC is 2x and the length of BC is 3x - 5 .

2x = 3x - 5

3x -2x =5

x = 5

The value of x is 5 .

Hence proved

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We will prove the SAS congruence property

(In this property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal the, the two triangles are similar)

consider,  Δ ADC and ΔBDC

(1) CD = CD (common side of both the triangle)

(2) ∠CDA = ∠ CDB = 90 °

( since, ∠CDA +∠ CDB = 180 ° )

(3) AD = DB (as shown in the diagram)

Hence, Δ ADC ≅ ΔBDC

by using the SAS congurence property .

AC = BC

(Corresponding sides of the congruent triangle)

i.e. 2x = 3x - 5

    3x -2x =5

      x = 5

Hence, the value of x is 5

the sum of three numbers is 15. the second number is double the first. the third number is 5 less than the first. what are the t
tigry1 [53]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

5, 10, 0

Discussion:

Let "f" be the first number. Then the questions tells us that

f + 2f  + (f-5) = 15           =>

f + 2f + f - 5 = 15            => add 5 to both sides

4f = 5+ 15 = 20              => divide both sides by 4

f = 20/4 = 5

The numbers as

f:        5

2f:     10

(f-5):  0

Thank you,

MrB
