Answer: Choice A) AA postulate; 18

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

The triangles are similar to each other due to the AA (angle angle) postulate. The top angles are overlapping or shared angles. So that's the first pair. The second pair of angles is either bottom pair of angles, from the fact that corresponding angles are congruent. This is only true if the lines are parallel.

Due to the similar triangles, we can set up the proportion and solve for x
8/(8+4) = 12/x
8/12 = 12/x
8*x = 12*12 ... cross multiply
8x = 144
x = 144/8
x = 18

Determine the relationships between the following lines: *
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

  the lines are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell something by looking at the differences of coordinates:

  B-A = (6-2, -11-5) = (4, -16) . . . . . Δy/Δx = -16/4 = -4

  D-C = (-1-3, 9-10) = (-4, -1) . . . . .  Δy/Δx = -1/-4 = 1/4

The product of the slopes of these lines is (-4)(1/4) = -1, so ...

  the lines are perpendicular

The measures of two complementary angles are m angle 1 = (10x+7) and m angle 2=(9x-12) find the measures of both angles
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

m<1 = 57°

m<2 = 33°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the numerical measure of both angles, let's come up with an equation to determine the value of x.

Given that m<1 = (10x +7)°, and m<2 = (9x - 12)°, where both are complementary angles, therefore, it means, both angles will add up to give us 90°.

Equation we can generate from this, is as follows:

(10x + 7)° + (9x - 12)° = 90°

Solve for x

10x + 7 + 9x - 12 = 90

Combine like terms

19x - 5 = 90

Add 5 to both sides

19x = 90 + 5 (addition property not equality)

19x = 95

Divide both sides by 19

x = 5

m<1 = (10x +7)°

Replace x with 5

m<1 = 10(5) + 7 = 50 + 7 = 57°

m<2 = (9x - 12)

Replace x with 5

m<2 = 9(5) - 12 = 45 - 12 = 33°

Which equation shows 6(x + 4) = 2( y + 5) solved for y? A. y = x + 3 B. y = 3x + 5 C. y = 3x + 7 D. y = 3x + 17
UNO [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6(x + 4) = 2(y + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides of the equation

6x + 24 = 2y + 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

6x + 14 = 2y ( divide all terms by 2 )

3x + 7 = y, hence

y = 3x + 7 → C
