Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Because this is a right triangle, one angle is a right angle (90°). All triangles have all three angle measures adding up to 180°, so the other two angles' measures add up to 90° (90 + 90 = 180).
Combine like terms of the angle measures.
6x + 9x = 15x
-3 + (-12) = -15
15x - 15
Because the sum of the measures of the two angles have to equal 90,
15x - 15 = 90
Add 15 from both sides.
15x = 105
Divide both sides by 15.
x = 7
To check, substitute 7 in both expressions.
6(7) - 3 = 39
9(7) - 12 = 51
39 + 51 + 90 (the measure of the right angle) = 180, so the value of x is 7.
I hope this helped :)
X=4 is the answer to this
Answer: Choice A) Triangle ABC is similar to triangle ACD by AA
AA stands for Angle Angle. Specifically it means we need 2 pairs of congruent angles between the two triangles in order to prove the triangles similar. Your book might write "AA similarity" instead of simply "AA".
For triangles ABC and ACD, we have the first pair of angles being A = A (angle A shows up twice each in the first slot). The second pair of congruent angles would be the right angles for triangle ABC and ACD, which are angles C and D respectively.
We can't use AAS because we don't know any information about the sides of the triangle.
