Answer:

C. - X = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for x from the given figure.

In ΔADB and ΔCDB

 ∠ABD=∠BCD         (Corresponding angle of two right triangle)

 ∠ADB=∠CDB         (Each 90°)

∴  ΔADB ≈ ΔCDB  By AA similarity

If two triangles are similar then ratio of their corresponding height are same.

Substitute the value of side into the expression

Cross multiply and solve for x

x can't be negative because side of triangle is positive.

Hence, The value of x is 5 units.

A neon light flashes five times every 10 seconds. Show that the light flashes 43 200 times in one day.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

60 seconds x 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds per hour

3,600 seconds per hour x 24 hours = 86,400 seconds per day.

The light flashes 5 times every 10 seconds:

5 flashes / 10 seconds = 1 flash every 2 seconds

86,400 seconds / 2 seconds = 43,200 flashes per day.
