Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles A and P are marked congruent; angles B and Q are marked congruent, so the triangles are similar by the AA similarity postulate. The similarity statement can be written ...
ΔABC ~ ΔPQR by AA similarity
__
The ratio of sides of PQR to ABC is the ratio QR/BC = 12/6 = 2. That is, each side in the larger triangle is 2 times the length of the corresponding smaller side.
PQ = 2·AB = 2·4 = 8
PR = 2·AC = 2·7 = 14
The side lengths of interest are ...
PQ = 8, PR = 14
Answer:
x = 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's draw an imaginary dot in the middle of that <u>line</u> which runs between those two parallel lines, and now lets look at it as an angle.
This lines' angle is 180 degrees. Now lets move those two parallel lines together on the imaginary dot in the middle.
We can see that on the left side is one degree and the other side is another, however when we put them together we get the angle measurement of the our line which we identified was 180.
Now that we can see that our two angles must equal 180 when put together we know and can say that:
40 + (x + 20) = 180
So, lets work this out like basic algebra now.
40 + x + 20 = 180
x + 60 = 180
- 60 - 60
x = 120
And voila we have our x value.
Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:
9(x+1)=25+x
9x+9=25+x
9x-x=25-9
8x=16
x=16/8
x=2
Answer:
Sister = 15 years old
Brother = 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Right now, if the brother is B years old and the sister is S years old, B = (4/5)S because the ratio from brother to sister is 4:5, so if one unit is X, B = 4X and S = 5X
Three years ago, the brother was B-3 years old and the sister was S-3 years old. Keeping one unit as X, we have
B = 3X
S = 4X
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Therefore, we have a system of equations
B = (4/5)S
B-3 = (3/4)(S-3)
Substitute (4/5)S for B into the second equation to only have one variable
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)(S-3)
(4/5)S - 3 = (3/4)S - 9/4
add 3 to both sides and subtract (3/4)S from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient
(1/20)S = 3/4
multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the S
S = 15
B = (4/5)S = 12
