Explanation:
Consider ...
x/a = b/c . . . . . find x
Multiplying by the denominator under x gives ...
x = ab/c . . . . the value of the unknown.
____
In the case where the unknown is in the denominator, you can invert the ratios and solve as above:
a/x = c/b . . . . . note that x is in the denominator
x/a = b/c . . . . . equivalent equation, solve as above
angles x y z are all acute because they are less than 90 degrees

Answer:
b=7
Step-by-step explanation:
A=bh/2
28=8b/2
56=8b
b=7
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
It appears you have vertical angles. The rule with angles is that no matter what, vertical angles are always congruent (or the same). This means you would have to set up the equation to solve for "b" as:
70 - 2b = 28 + 5b
You could solve this manually, but Desmos graphing calculator is faster. Simply type this in and replace b with x and it will give you the answer, which is 6. Hope this helps!
