Answer: x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
If RQ is the bisector, that means the angle is cut in half. Therefore angles PRQ and QRS are equal to each other.
4x+6 = 7x-42
subtract 7x from both sides
-3x+6 = -42
subtract 6 from both sides
-3x = -48
divide both sides by -3
x = 16
Answer:
The length of side <em>b</em> is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles are similar if they have the same shape, but can be different sizes.
When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal.
If you know that two objects are similar, you can use proportions and cross products to find the length of an unknown side. We know that the triangle 
is similar to the triangle 
. Therefore the following relation must be true:
We know that side 
is equal to 8, side 
is equal to <em>b, </em>side 
is equal to 
, and side 
is equal to 3.
Substituting these values into the above relation and solving for <em>b</em> we get that:
Answer:
A.105°
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle at W and V are equal and the angles at T and U are also equal
Hence taking angles at T and U...so as to calculate the value of x
5x + 15 = 3x + 21
5x - 3x = 21 - 15
2x = 6.....hence, x = 3
Then for the angle of VXU;
All angles in a triangle add up to 180°
15(3) + 3(3) + 21 = 75°...then subtract from 180°..so as to obtain angle at VXU
180 - 75 = 105°
