Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since
, by the corresponding angles theorem,
. This means
by AA.
As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

However, as distance must be positive, we consider the positive solution, x=5.
Therefore, the answer is <u>5</u>
The answer would be 1/4 pounds((One and one quarter pounds)) I hope this helps :3
Rewriting the formula in standard form would be x^2-8x+14=0
K = 5 or k = 3
