Refer to attached annotated figure below.


Step 1: prove triangle ABD is similar to triangle BCD

1. ∠ ADB = ∠ BDC (given)

2. ∠ BAD = 90-y; ∠ DBC= 90-y, => ∠ BAD is congruent to ∠ CBD.

=> triangle ABD is similar to triangle BCD [AA]


Step 2: find length of AD

Using Pythagoras theorem, AD^2=AB^2-BD^2 = 5^2-4^2=9

=> AD=3


Step 3: use the property that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional: BC/BD = AB/AD

substitute values

AB=5, AD=3, BD=4, BC=x

x/4=5/3

solve for x

x=5*4/3=20/3

or x=6.67 (to 2 decimal places)

What is the value of x?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

X = 5°

Step-by-step explanation:

180° on a straight line.

180 - 100 = 80 angle ABC = 80°

angle ACB is vertically opposite to the 60° given

ACB = 60°

180 - 80 - 60 = 7x+5

40 = 7x + 5

7x = 35

X = 5

Four students were discussing how to find the unit rate for a proportional relationship. Which method is valid? “Look at the gra
AlladinOne [14]

The correct answer is: [A]: " Look at the graph of the relationship.  Find the y-value of the point that corresponds to x = 1 . That value is the unit rate."

<h3>What is  y-value?</h3>

The vertical value in a pair of coordinates. How far up or down the point is. The Y Coordinate is always written second in an ordered pair of coordinates (x,y) such as (12,5). Also called "Ordinate".

Here, The "y-axis" is located on the "vertical axis" that represents the "dependent variable" (or, at times, the "control value") that cannot be "manipulated" / controlled/ or "selected" / since it represents the "y-value" of the corresponding coordinate to which the "x-value" happens to corresponds to at the given value for "x" .

Thus, the correct answer is: [A]: " Look at the graph of the relationship.  Find the y-value of the point that corresponds to x = 1 . That value is the unit rate."
