It is a similar triangle so the side length of the smaller triangle (x and x-2) are in the same ratio as the bigger triangle (2x+5 and 2x-1). As the ratio is the same, you can equate them and solve for x.
I wish I could help you but get got it the answers are more correct and accurate
Answer:
The equation of the straight line is 4x +y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
Given points are (-1,5) and ( 2,-7)
Slope of the line

slope of the line m = -4
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>
The equation of the straight line passing through the point (-1,5) and having slope 'm' = -4

y - 5 = -4 ( x-(-1))
y -5 = -4 x -4
4 x + y -5 +4=0
4x +y -1 =0
<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>
The equation of the straight line is 4x +y = 1
<u><em> </em></u>
You first have to plug in your given numbers to the equation.
d= rt
d=(52)4.5
Then you solve
52*4.5 = 234
So, your distance or d=234
