What is x? Help please

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]4 years ago
8 0

Answer: x=\frac{8}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Intersecting secants theorem, we know that:

EC*ED=EB*EA

Then, substituting, we get:

(x+4)(x+4+1)=(x+1)(x+1+11)\\\\(x+4)(x+5)=(x+1)(x+12)

Now we need to expand the expression:

x^2+5x+4x+20=x^2+12x+x+12

Simplifying, we get that the value  of "x" is:

x^2+9x+20=x^2+12x+12\\\\9x+20=12x+12\\\\20-12=12x-9x\\\\8=3x\\\\x=\frac{8}{3}

Someone help me fast please. Given the diagram below and DE∣∣∣∣KL, find FE and FL.
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Part 1) The length of segment FE is 10 units

Part 2) The length of segment FL is 4.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangle FED and triangle FKL are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

Part 1) Find FE

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

\frac{DE}{KL}=\frac{FE}{FK}

substitute the given values

\frac{15}{6}=\frac{FE}{4}

FE=15(4)/6\\FE=10\ units

Part 2) Find FL

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

\frac{DE}{KL}=\frac{FD}{FL}

substitute the given values

\frac{15}{6}=\frac{12}{FL}

FL=6(12)/15\\FL=4.8\ units
