When lines cross each other in a triangle from a point to the mid point of the opposite side as shown, AV is 2 times as long as VF

To solve for X we would have AV = 2*VF

The equation becomes:

3x+6 = 2(x+6)

Now we solve for X

3x+6 = 2(x+6)

Distribute the 2 on the right side:

3x + 6 = 2x +12

Subtract 2x from each side:

X +6 = 12

Subtract 6 from each side:

x = 6

Now if you needed to solve the length of AV or VF, you replace x with 6 and solve.

<u>Trigonometric Ratios</u>

There are some trigonometric ratios that are defined in a right triangle. The given figure corresponds to a right triangle (with a 90° angle) and two measures are given: An angle of 34° and the length of a side that is opposite to the angle. We are required to find x, the adjacent side of the given angle.

The appropriate relation that we must use to find x is

$\displaystyle tan34^o=\frac{14}{x}$
