Answer:
14 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the sides proportionally.
BD/BA = CD/CA
(x+4)/8 = (2x+1)/12
3(x +4) = 2(2x +1) . . . . . multiply by 24 (the least common denominator)
3x +12 = 4x +2 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
12 = x +2 . . . . . . . subtract 3x
10 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 2
Then the length of BD is ...
BD = x +4
BD = 10 +4 . . . . substitute the value of x
BD = 14
the answer is 54 9/14
because Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) x = 8
2) ∠RPS = 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>GIVEN :-</u>
- ∠QPS = 180°
- ∠QPR = 7x + 88
- ∠RPS = 3x + 12
<u>TO FIND :-</u>
- Value of x
- Measure of ∠RPS
<u>FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-</u>
In a straight line , if there are two angles such that their sum is equal to straight angle (or 180° in other words) , then those angles are known as linear pair.
<u>PROCEDURE :-</u>
1)
Measure of ∠QPS = 180° and it comprises of ∠QPR & ∠RPS.
⇒ ∠QPR & ∠RPS are linear pair.
⇒ ∠QPR + ∠RPS = 180°
⇒ 7x + 88 + 3x + 12 = 180°
⇒ 10x + 100 = 180
⇒ 10x = 180 - 100 = 80
⇒ x = 80/10 = 8
2)
x = 8. So,
∠RPS = 3×8 + 12 = 24 + 12 = 36°
