Answer: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets name the missing point as "x"
8^2 + x^2 = 17^2
=> 64 + x^2 = 289
=> x^2 = 289 - 64
=> x^2 = 225
=> x = 15
Answer: The value of x= 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In triangle EFG, angle E equals 8x-16, angle F equals x+8, and angle G equals 2x-10.
The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.
Therefore, in triangle EFG
∠E + ∠F +∠G= 180°
⇒ 8x-16 +x+8+ 2x-10 = 180
⇒ 11x-18= 180
⇒ 11x = 180+18
⇒11x=198
⇒ x= 18 [Divide both sides by 11]
Hence, the value of x= 18
1/2 + 4x = 5x - 5/6
1/2 = x - 5/6
3/6 = x - 5/6
x = 8/6
