If we know that line
is equal to line
, then this means that ∠
has to be equal to ∠
in order to form a closed triangle. All angle measures of a triangle add up to
°, so use the equation:
.
70 + x = 180
Subtract 70 from both sides to isolate x:
180 - 70 = 110
110 = x
Hope this helped.
First of all be more spusific in your question
The vertices of a right triangle are (–6, 4), (0, 0), and (x, 0). Find the value of x.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
x = -3, x = 0 is a extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Cross-multiply
3x² = 4x² + 3x
Step 2: Isolate <em>x</em>'s
0 = x² + 3x
Step 3: Factor
0 = x(x + 3)
Step 4: Find roots
x = 0, -3
Step 5: Double check work
Plug in both to see if they both work. Only x = 0 should be extraneous. We now have our answer!
