Step-by-step explanation:
(
×
) ÷ 2 = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the correct answer.
Even according to calculator and working.
So not quite sure why those options are incorrect?
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 3) = 8x
12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )
4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )
4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 9
Given that G is the midpoint of FH, then:
FG=GH
hence;
14x+25=73-2x
solving for x we get:
14x+2x=73-25
16x=48
x=48/16
x=3
therefore the length FG=14x+25 will be:
14*3+25
=67
hence FH will be:
FH=67*2=134
A= 20 cause 5-2=3 and if the top is 23 it has to be 20
