Answer:

$AE=20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

Triangles AEB and DEC are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

$\frac{AB}{DC}=\frac{AE}{DE}$

substitute the given values and solve for x

$\frac{10}{4}=\frac{2x+10}{x+3}$

Multiply in cross

$10x+30=8x+40\\10x-8x=40-30\\2x=10\\x=5$

Find the length side AE

$AE=2x+10$

substitute the value of x

$AE=2(5)+10=20\ units$

11. What is the length of the missing side, x?

Dimas [21]

Answer:

x = 40 in

Step-by-step explanation:

the missing angle in the triangle on the left is

180° - (74 + 51)° = 180° - 125° = 55°

the missing angle in the triangle on the right is

180° - (74 + 55)° = 180° - 129° = 51°

the 2 triangles have 3 pairs of congruent angles and are therefore congruent.

Corresponding sides and angles are then congruent

consider the corresponding sides opposite 74° , that is x and 40 in , so

x = 40 in
