Please help me with this question
Olegator [25]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given triangle PQR is similar to triangle PTU, we can write a proportion to connect the side lengths:

PQ / PT = QR / TU = PR / PU

We don't really care about QR and TU because the are irrelevant to the problem, so we can remove them:

PQ / PT = PR / PU

Now, we can substitute the values given by the diagram:

70 / 30 = 49 / (x + 10)

We can cross multiply,

70(x + 10) = 30 * 49

And divide by 70 on both sides(too lazy to multiply :P)

x + 10 = 3 * 7

x + 10 = 21

x = 11
