Mathematics

1 answer:

Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

The value of x in this equation is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 1 = 6x - 9

Subtract 6x on both sides.

-x - 1 = -9

Add 1 to both sides.

-x = -8

Divide by -1 on both sides.

x = 8

Given: ABCD trapezoid<br> BC=1.2m, AD=1.8m<br> AB=1.5m, CD=1.2m<br> AB∩CD=K<br> Find: BK and CK

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The value of BK is 3m and the value of CK is 2.4m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ABCD trapezoid

, BC=1.2m, AD=1.8m

, AB=1.5m, CD=1.2m

, AB∩CD=K.

Using the given information draw a figure.

Two sides of a trapezoid are parallel.

Since AB∩CD=K, therefore AB and CD are not parallel, because parallel line never intersect.

$AD\parallelBC$

$\angle KBC=\angle KAD$ (Corresponding angles)

$\angle KCB=\angle KDA$ (Corresponding angles)

By AA rule of similarity

$\triangle KBC\sim \triangle KAD$

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

$\frac{KB}{KA}=\frac{KC}{KD}=\frac{BC}{AD}$

$\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}$

$\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}$

$\frac{x}{x+1.5}=\frac{2}{3}$

$3x=2x+3$

$x=3$

The length of BK is 3 m.

$\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{1.2}{1.8}$

$\frac{y}{y+1.2}=\frac{2}{3}$

$3y=2y+2.4$

$y=2.4$

The length of CK is 2.4 m.
