Find the value of x​

Mathematics
1 answer:
FromTheMoon [43]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The value of x is 4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The two triangle is as

Let The smaller triangle = DEC

Let The larger triangle = ABC

The measure of side EC = a

The measure of side BC = x

∵ side BC = side EC         (as both sides of triangle are equal)

So, x = a + a

i.e x = 2 a

From the figure shown it is clear that both triangles are similar

So, the ratio of triangles are equal

i.e \frac{measure of side BC}{measure of side EC} = \frac{14}{3 x-5}

or, \frac{x}{a} = \frac{14}{3 x-5}

Or, \frac{2 a}{a} = \frac{14}{3 x-5}

Or,  3 x - 5 = 7

Or, 3 x = 7 + 5

Or, 3 x = 12

∴ x = \frac{12}{3}

i.e x = 4

Hence, The value of x is 4 . Answer

Using the slope formula, determine the slope of the two points.
Lelechka [254]
The slope formula is is rise over run or y2-y1/x2-x1

If you plug in those numbers you will get

(-1)-(-4)
———
1-(-2)

Simplify it and you get

3
— or 1
3

So the slope is 1
