Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar we can find x using similarity ratio

14/8 = (x+6)/(x-3) simplify first expression

7/4 = (x+6)/(x-3) cross multiply expressions

7×(x-3) = 4×(x+6)

7x-21 = 4x + 24 add like terms

3x = 45

x = 15

In triangle abc, m of acb = 90, cd is perpendicular to ab , m of acd is 60. and bd is 5 cm. find ad

weeeeeb [17]

Let us draw a picture to make the things more clear.

Attached is the image.

We have been given that

$\angle acd = 60 ^{\circ}$

Therefore, we have

$\angle dcb =90- 60= 30 ^{\circ}$

Now, in triangle bcd, we have

$\tan30 = \frac{5}{cd}\\
\\
\frac{1}{\sqrt 3}=\frac{5}{cd}\\
\\
cd=5\sqrt 3$

Now, in triangle acb, we have

$tan 60 = \frac{ad}{5\sqrt3} \\
\\
\sqrt 3= \frac{ad}{5\sqrt3}\\
\\
ad= 5\sqrt3 \times \sqrt 3\\
\\
ad= 5\times 3\\
\\
ad=15$

Thus, ad is 15 cm.
