Question

Please help!! What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

  42.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, so corresponding side lengths are proportional.

Consider the left side of the figure:

  MA +AN = MN

  MA = MN -AN = 67.2 -32 = 35.2

Now, we can write the proportion ...

  MB/MP = MA/MN

  x/81.9 = 35.2/67.2 . . . . . .fill in the known values

  x = 81.9(35.2/67.2) . . . . . multiply by 81.9

  x = 42.9
