Answer:
2hms+2hns
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically add up the given side lengths and subtract that from 180 for the triangles
Use elimination
-x - y = -9
x - y = 3
Add both equations
-2y = -6, y = 3
-x -(3) = -9
-x = -6, x = 6
Final answer: x = 6, y = 3
I found two answers
1. x=-1/3
2. x=3
Answer: 25
Assuming the dotted line touches the middle of the base of the triangle,
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
(30/2)^2 + (20)^2 = x^2
x^2 = (15)^2 + 400
x^2 = 625
x = √625 or -(√625)
x = 25 or -25
But since x needs to be a positive value,
x = 25
