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}.

Any quadrilateral has sum of all angles equal 360⁰.
So,
m∠D+78+91+90=360
m∠D=360-(78+91+90)=101⁰
Answer is A.

A cyliner has a radius of 16 m and a height of 24m. what is the approximate volume of this cylinder? (use �� = 3.14.)
vovikov84 [41]
<span>Cylinder Volume   =   </span><span>π <span>• r² • height
</span></span><span>Cylinder Volume   =   3.14 * 16^2 * 24
</span>Cylinder Volume   = <span> <span> <span> 19,292.</span></span></span>  cubic meters
My answer is much too big for those choices.

So, I'm guessing that 16 meters is the diameter.
If that's the case, radius = 8 meters and
Cylinder Volume   =   3.14 * 8^2 * 24
<span>Cylinder Volume   =   3.14 * 64 * 24
</span>Cylinder Volume   =   <span> <span> <span> 4,823.04 </span> </span> </span> cubic meters
So answer is "c"
