The two triangles (ABC and ADE) can be shown to be similar (which I'll do below). Their corresponding parts are also similar. 
Step One
Prove Similarity.
A is common to both triangles              Construction
<ABC = <ADE                                       Given as right angles.

By the AA Theorem both triangles are similar.

Step Two
Find x

AD is to AB as DE is to x
AD = 3 + 4 = 7
AB = 3
DE = 6
7 / 3 = 6/x Cross multiply
7x = 3 * 6
7x = 18 Divide by 7
x = 18/7
x = 2.571 <<<<< answer

The length of a rectangle is the sum of the width and 2. The area of the rectangle is 48 units. What is the length, in units, of
suter [353]

Length of the rectangle is 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the length, let width be x.

Area of the rectangle = 48 units

Length = x + 2

⇒ Area = Length × Breadth

48 = x (x + 2)

48 = x² + 2x

x² + 2x - 48 = 0

x² + 8x - 6x + 48 = 0 (Product Sum rule to factorise)

x(x + 8) - 6(x + 8) = 0

(x - 6)(x + 8) = 0

⇒ x = 6, -8 (negative value is neglected)

∴ x = 6

x + 2 = 8
