Find the value of x.
1 answer:
Answer:
d.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a 45-45-90 right triangle with a Pythagorean triple of (x, x, x√2). Because this is a 45-45-90, both legs have the same measure, namely 8. Therefore, according to the Pythagorean triple, x = 8 (NOT the x in your diagram...the x in the Pythagorean triple). That means that the hypotenuse has a measure of , which is d.

<em>Question:</em>
<em>Triangles PQR and RST are similar right triangles. Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of PR is equal to the slope of RT?</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for complete question
From the attachment, we have that:
First, we need to calculate the slope (m) of PQR
Here, we consider P and R
Where
becomes
--------- (1)
Next, we calculate the slope (m) of RST
Here, we consider R and T
Where
becomes
---------- (2)
Next, we equate (1) and (2)
