So hmmm x²+6x+8=0
alrite.. let's do some grouping now
( x² + 6x + [?]²) + 8 = 0
notice above, we have a missing fellow in order to get a perfect square trinomial... hmm who would that be?
let's take a peek at the middle guy of the trinomial.. 6x.. hmmm let's factor it, 2*3*x, wait a minute! 2 * 3 * x... we already have x² on the left-side, since the middle term is just 2 * the square root of the other two terms, that means that the guy on the right, our missing guy must be "3"
alrite, let's add 3² then, however, bear in mind that, all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0
so if we add 3², we also have to subtract 3², let's do so
(x² + 6x +3² - 3²) + 8 = 0
(x² + 6x +3²) + 8 - 3² = 0
(x+3)²=3² - 8
(x+3)² = 1
ABCSolve for x
x + 30 + 2x - 4 + 4x = 180 All triangles have 180°. collect like terms.
7x + 26 = 180 subtract 26 to both sides.
7x = 154 Divide by 7
x = 154/7
x = 22
A = x + 30 = 22 + 30 = 52
B = 2x - 4 = 2(22) + 30 = 44 - 4 = 40
C = 4x = 4*22 = 88
Check<A + <B + <C = 180
<52 + <40 + <88 = 180°
180 = 180
It checks and we are done with this triangle.
A'B'C'
2x + 8 + x + 18 + 5x - 22 = 180 Collect the like terms.
8x + 4 = 180 Subtract 4 from both sides.
8x = 180 - 4
8x = 176 Divide by 8
x = 176 / 8
x = 22
A' = 2x + 8
A' = 2(22) + 8 = 44 + 8 = 52
B' = x + 18 = 22 + 18 = 40
C' = 5x - 22 = 5*22 - 22 = 110 - 22 = 88
ConclusionA = A'
B = B'
C = C'
All three angles of one triangle are equal to all three angles of the other. So by AA the two triangles are similar.
CommentNote: the dilation of 12 has nothing to do with this answer. If you were asked about similarity of sides then the 12 would be something to do with the problem.
