Answer:

\boxed{\ell = 12}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \ell denote the length of the missing side. Since \triangle ABC and \triangle AXY share one vertex and \overline{XY}\parallel \overline{BC}, these triangles are similar. This means that:

\dfrac{AX}{AB} = \dfrac{AY}{AC} \iff \dfrac{\ell}{18+\ell} = \dfrac{14}{14+21} \iff\dfrac{\ell}{18+\ell} = \dfrac{14}{35}.

We now multiply both sides by 18+\ell and solve the equation:

\dfrac{\ell}{18+\ell} = \dfrac{14}{35} \iff \ell = \dfrac{36}{5} + \dfrac{14}{35}\ell \iff \ell \left(1-\dfrac{14}{35}\right) = \dfrac{36}{5} \iff \dfrac{3}{5}\ell = \dfrac{36}{5}.

So we now simply get:

\boxed{\ell = \dfrac{36}{3} = 12}.

True or False?
almond37 [142]
#1

That is false..one could have side lengths of 9 and 1, and the other could have side lengths of 3. Both the areas would be 9, but the figures would not be congruent.

#2

That is true, they must both have the same side length to have the same perimeter, therefore they will also have the same area.

Which are correct representation of the inequality minus 32X -5 less than 52 minus X select two options
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The value of X is more than equal to -1.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the correct representation of the inequality 'minus 32X -5 less than 52 minus X'

LHS of the inequality will be : -32x-5

RHS of the inequality will be : (52-X)

So,

-32X-5\leq 52-X

Adding X both sides

-32X-5+X\leq 52-X+X\\\\-31X-5\leq 52

Adding 5 to both sides,

-31X-5+5\leq 52+5\\\\-31X\leq 57

Dividing both sides by -31.

X\geq \dfrac{-57}{31}\\\\X\geq  -1.83

So, the value of X is more than equal to -1.83.
