Answer:

since PQ ||BC,

Angle A is common for both triangles angle P = angle B

triangles ABC, APQ are similar,then their corresponding sides are in proportion

AP/PB =AQ/QC

4/8=x/16

x=8

Do you know basic proportionality theorem ? You can solve the problem easily by this.

In short: BPT is if a line is parallel to a side of the triangle which intersects the other sides imto two distinct points, then the line divides those sides in proportion.

In your problem, it's given that the mutual lines are parallel (PQ || BC), so it makes it divide |AP| with |AB| and |AQ| with |AC| proportionally.

|AP| / |AB| = |AQ| / |QC|

4/12 = x/16+x

4(16+x) = 12x

x=8

Hope it helps!

adell [148]
I made a probability tree. Pls. see attachment. 

Based on the probability tree I made, below are the probabilities

Probability of a student accepted at both Dartmouth and Harvard is:
50% x 40% = 20%

Probability of a student accepted at Dartmouth but not Harvard is:
50% x 60% = 30%

Probability of a student not accepted at Dartmouth but accepted in Harvard is:
50% x 20% = 10%

Probability of a student not accepted in both schools is:
50% x 80% = 40%

As you can see, these probabilities total 100%
