<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The length of "x" is equal to 4 units.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem and find the length of x, we need to remember the alternate angles rule. The alternate angles rule establish that alternate angles will be also equal.

So, for the triangles, we have:

The angle((α)) formed between the base (2.5) and the hypotenuse (5)  of the big triangle is equal to the angle(α) formed between the base (2) and the hypotenuse (x) of the small triangle. It also means that the triangles are similar since they have congruent angles(α) and proportional sides (SAS).

We are given:

First triangle,

AdjacentSide=2.5\\Hypotenuse=5\\

Second triangle,

AdjacentSide=2\\Hypotenuse=x\\

So, using the cosine identity, we have:

Cos(\alpha)=\frac{AdjacentSide}{Hypotenuse}

Cos(\alpha)=\frac{2.5}{5}=\frac{2}{x}

Cos(\alpha)=\frac{2.5}{5}=\frac{2}{x}\\\\\frac{2.5}{5}=\frac{2}{x}\\\\x=2*\frac{5}{2.5}=4

Therefore, we have that the hypotenuse of the second triangle (x) is equal to 4 units.

Hence, the length of "x" is equal to 4 units.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

The length of x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see that two triangles are similar. (AAA similarity criteria)

Therefore the ratio of similar corresponding sides are equal.

Answer:

The length of x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see that two triangles are similar. All angles are equal(AAA similarity criteria)

Therefore the ratio of similar corresponding sides are equal.

To find the value of x

From the figure we can write,

x/5 = 2/2.5

x = (5 * 2)/2.5

x = 10/2.5 = 4

Therefore the length of x = 4

From the figure we can write,

x/5 = 2/2.5

x = (5 * 2)/2.5

x = 10/2.5 = 4

Therefore the length of x = 4

Triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 square root of 3 units.
Olenka [21]
M.N and O are 60 degree. And you have to know that 30 60 and 90 triangle. if 30 degrees opposite is measuring A , 60 is A square root 3 and the 90's opposite is being 2A. So 90 degree opposite is 16 square root 3 and 30 degree is being 8 square root 3 and 60 is
8 \sqrt{3}  \times  \sqrt{3}  = 24
the height is 24 .
