A line that is parallel to a side and intersects the other two siddes divides the sides proportionally.
Set up the proportion
2/x+1 = x/x+6
Multiply means and extremes
2x+12= x^2+ x
Solve to get your answer.
The expression that could best describe the statement would be " 40 n + 20
260.
Answer:
x = 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's draw an imaginary dot in the middle of that <u>line</u> which runs between those two parallel lines, and now lets look at it as an angle.
This lines' angle is 180 degrees. Now lets move those two parallel lines together on the imaginary dot in the middle.
We can see that on the left side is one degree and the other side is another, however when we put them together we get the angle measurement of the our line which we identified was 180.
Now that we can see that our two angles must equal 180 when put together we know and can say that:
40 + (x + 20) = 180
So, lets work this out like basic algebra now.
40 + x + 20 = 180
x + 60 = 180
- 60 - 60
x = 120
And voila we have our x value.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
11.25
Step-by-step explanation:
sketch a triangle and fill in the sides,add the sides and equate to 180, collect the like terms to get the value of x=11.25
