Answer:
x would be equal on both sides so if you use that equation you'll find x and be able to solve for both sides
Step-by-step explanation:
Can you retype this? It's kind of hard to understand what you are saying
Yes, you are correct.
From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.
All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).
We can gather the following information from the given information.
- The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
- The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9
We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:
12/x = x/9
Using the cross product property gives us:
x² = 9 × 12
x² = 108
Taking the square root of both sides gives us:
x = √108
= 6 √3
Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Answer:
2 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
There is 360 degrees in a circle, triangle, square, and a ton of other shapes, and 280 plus 78 gives you 358 degrees. 360 - 358 equals 2 degrees.
Hope this helps!
