Answer:
- 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x
3x + 3 = - 9 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
3x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = - 4
Hence
3x + 5 = (3 × - 4) + 5 = - 12 + 5 = - 7
Given that the triangles are similar.
When triangles are similar, all three pairs of corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
Similarly in the given triangles, the ratio of the corresponding sides are equal.


Cross multiplying, we get



Dividing both sides of the equation by -4.
So, we get
x = 7.
An acute angle measures less than 90 degrees, a right angle measures 90 degrees and, obtuse angle measures more than 90 degrees
