PLEASE HELP ME!! 1.02: Triangle Similarity 1 What is the value of X?

Mathematics
1 answer:
hichkok12 [17]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<h2>x = 28</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔARP and ΔCRD are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AR}{CR}=\dfrac{PR}{DR}

We have:

AR = 10 + x

CR = x

PR = 15 + 42 = 57

DR = 42

Substitute:

\dfrac{10+x}{x}=\dfrac{57}{42}           <em>cross multiply</em>

42(10+x)=57x             <em>use distributive property</em>

(42)(10)+(42)(x)=57x

420+42x=57x         <em>subtract 42x from both sides</em>

420=15x            <em>divide both sides by 15</em>

x=28

suter [353]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets illustrate one method by an example:

Find the square root of  12:

The 2 perfect squares around 12 are 3^2 and 4^2 so the square root of 12 is going to be between 3 and 4.

We might predict it to be 3.5

If we square 3.5 we get 12.25 so we are pretty close.

It is less than 3.5 so we might try 3.4 .

Working 3.4^2 out we get  11.56  so we know the square root is between 3.4 and 3.5  Since 12.25 is closer to 12 than 11.56, the square root is closer to 3.5 than 3.4 so we might try 3.46.

This is called the method of trial and improvement and requires you to do long multiplications.
