<em>Step 1: Identify the similar triangles</em>

Triangle DQC and triangle DBR are similar

<em>Step 2: Identify the parallel lines</em>

QC is parallel to BR

<em>Step 3: Find x</em>

DQ/QB = DC/CR

40/24 = x/15

x = 25

Answer: x=25

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the value of "x", you can set up de following proportion:

\frac{BQ+QD}{QD}=\frac{RC+CD}{CD}\\\\\frac{24+40}{40}=\frac{15+x}{x}

Now, the final step is to solve for "x" to find its value.

Therefore, its value is the following:

1.6=\frac{15+x}{x}\\\\1.6x=x+15\\\\1.6x-x=15\\\\0.6x=15\\\\x=\frac{15}{0.6}\\\\x=25

Find the coordinates of midpoint F.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The coordinates are (0,b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the coordinates of the midpoint F

as we can see, F is between A and B

we proceed to use the midpoint formula

The midpoint formula is;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

(x1,y1) = (-3a, b)

(x2,y2) = (3a, b)

The substitution of these values will thus yield;

(-3a + 3a)/2, (b + b)/2

= (0/2), (2b/2)

= (0, b)

Shkiper50 [21]
A. 72÷9÷2 = 8÷2 = 4
b. (18 ÷ 6) ÷ 3 = 3 ÷ 3 = 1
c. 45 ÷ 5 ÷ 3 = 9 ÷ 3 = 3
d. 144 ÷ (12 ÷ 2) = 144 ÷6 = 24
