What is value of x? please help

Mathematics
1 answer:
bija089 [108]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, create a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios for similar figures. The two triangles are similar because they are the same shape but not the same size. Create ratios between corresponding sides of figures.

\frac{x+8}{10}=\frac{2x-5}{14}

To solve for x, cross multiply:

(x+8)(14) = (10)(2x-5)

14x + 112 = 20x -50

        112 = 6x - 50

        162 = 6x

          27 = x

ACTIVITY 2 (19) Mr Duma recently inherited a rectangular plot, part of the estate left by his late father. The plot with the fol
seraphim [82]

The sum of the lengths of three sides of the rectangle, gives the length

of the fencing, while one third of the rectangle area is for the pavement.

Responses:

Project A: The formula for the length of the fencing is, L = 4·x - 1

Project B: Length of the fancy wall = 2·x + 1

Project \ C:Area \ of \ the \ paving = \underline{ \dfrac{2\cdot x^2 }{3} - \dfrac{x }{3}  - \dfrac{1}{3}}

<h3>Which method can be used to find the length and area of paving from the given equations?</h3>

Project A: Let QP and SR represent the longest sides of the rectangle, we have;

PQ = SR = 2·x + 1

Given parameters are;

Length of the rectangular plot = 2·x + 1

Width of the rectangular plot = x - 1

Vertices of the rectangular plot are; QPSR

Project A: Let QP and SR represent the longest sides of the rectangle, we have;

PQ = SR = 2·x + 1

Which gives;

SP = QR = x - 1

The length of the fencing, L = SP + PQ + QR = x - 1 + 2·x + 1 + x - 1 = 4·x - 1

  • The formula for the length of the fencing is, L =<u> 4·x - 1</u>

Project B: The front side is SR

Therefore;

  • Length of the fancy wall = <u>2·x + 1</u>

Project C:

Area, A = Length × Width

Area of the plot, A = (2·x + 1) × (x - 1) = 2·x² - x - 1

  • Area \ of \ the \ paving = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \left(2 \cdot x^2 - x - 1\right) = \underline{ \dfrac{2\cdot x^2 }{3} - \dfrac{x }{3}  - \dfrac{1}{3}}

7. If 1 || m and n || q, identify any of the following<br> angles congruent to 6
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The angle congruent to ∠6 are ∠8, ∠3, ∠9 and ∠14

<h3>How to find congruent angles?</h3>

When parallel lines are cut by a transversal, angle relationships are formed. They include corresponding , alternate and many more.

L║m

n ║ q

Therefore, the angles congruent to ∠6 by alternate or corresponding relationship are as follows:

∠6≅∠8≅∠3≅∠9≅∠14
