The value of \text{x} is \boxed{x = 5}.

Further Explanation:

There are many similarity rules and are as follows.

1. Angle Angle (AA)

2. Side SideSide (SSS)

3. Side Angle Side (SAS)

If two triangles are similar to each other than the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal.

Explanation:

The similar triangles are those in which all the corresponding angles are equal and the sides are proportional.

The \Delta {\text{ACB}} and \Delta {\text{ACE}} are similar to each other. Therefore, the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal.

\begin{aligned}\frac{{{\text{AC}}}}{{{\text{DC}}}} &= \frac{{{\text{EC}}}}{{{\text{BC}}}} \\\frac{{{\text{AD}} + {\text{DC}}}}{{{\text{DC}}}} &= \frac{{{\text{EC}}}}{{{\text{BC}}}} \\\frac{{12 + 3}}{{12}} &= \frac{{4x}}{{3x + 1}}\\\frac{{15}}{{12}} &= \frac{{4x}}{{3x + 1}}\\\end{aligned}

Further solve the above equation.

\begin{aligned}\frac{5}{4}&=\frac{{4x}}{{3x + 1}}\\5\left( {3x + 1} \right) &= 4\left( {4x} \right)\\15x + 5 &= 16x\\5&= 16x - 15x\\5&= x\\\end{aligned}

The value of \text{x} is \boxed{x = 5}.

i have two questions. Is y= (4 2/3) x proportonal? and is y= 3(x - 1) proportional? If it’s proportional, what’s the constant va
Dmitrij [34]

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ y = 4\frac{2}{3}x\qquad \qquad yes\qquad \checkmark\qquad \qquad k = 4\frac{2}{3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ y=3(x-1)\implies \stackrel{\textit{distributing}}{y=3x-3}\qquad \qquad yes\qquad \checkmark \qquad \qquad k=3

bear in mind that, direct proportional equations have a y-intercept.

for y = kx, is pretty much y = kx + 0, where 0 = y-intercept.

and the "k" constant of proportionality, is pretty much just its slope.

5. Find cos theta if sin theta= -12/13<br> and tan theta &gt; 0. (6 points)
ziro4ka [17]

\text{Given that,}\\\\\sin \theta = -\dfrac{12}{13}\\\\\implies \sin^2 \theta = \dfrac{144}{169}\\\\\implies 1- \cos^2 \theta = \dfrac{144}{169}\\\\\implies \cos^2 \theta = 1- \dfrac{144}{169}\\\\\implies \cos^2 \theta = \dfrac{25}{169}\\\\\implies \cos \theta = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{25}{169}} = \pm \dfrac 5{13}\\\\\\\text{Since,}~ \tan \theta >0,\\\\\cos \theta =- \dfrac{5}{13}
