Answer:
x=17
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are congruent, the angles are equal
I≅ P
3x+4 = 72-x
Add x to each side
3x+4+x = 72-x+x
4x+4 = 72
Subtract 4 from each side
4x+4-4 = 72-4
4x= 68
Divide by 4
4x/4 = 68/4
x = 17
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you cannot subtract -1 from 4x, you multiply 2 × 4x = 8x
Now, you have 8x - 1 + 3 = 7
Seperate the 8x from the other numbers
8x = 1 - 3 + 7 ---> 6
8x = 6
Now simplify
x = 
<----- to reduce, divide the numerator and denominator by 2
Hence,
x =
The area of a trapezoid with base lengths 7 in and 19 in is given by
A = (1/2)(b1 + b2)h
A = (1/2)(7 +19)·7 = 91
The appropriate choice is
D. 91 in²
_____
It can also be figured by adding the area of the 7 in square (49 in²) to the area of the 7×12 in right triangle (42 in²).
