The two triangles are similar. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. x = Two right triangles, one smaller than t
he other, back to back, so that their right angles form a straight angle. The two acute angles along the straight angle are congruent to each other. The overlapping part of the legs is labeled 20. The part of the overlapping side that extends above the smaller triangle is labeled 8. The leg of the smaller triangle that is a ray of the straight angle is labeled 3 x. The leg of the larger angle that is a ray of the straight angle is labeled 4 x plus 2.

Answer:
The coordinates of C is (-8,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the attached image, you'd see that, AB is 1 and BC is 1, that's because we are told that ratio of AB to AC is 1:2 meaning, AC is 2 and AB is 1. Therefore for that ratio to be satisfied BC has to be 1 so that AC would be 2.
Now let's assume the coordinates of C is .
To get it's coordinates, we use the section formula:
Where (m,n) is the (AB, BC)
Therefore we have
This gives:
and
From there x = -8 and y = 1
Therefore the coordinates of C is (-8, 1).
