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!

Every triangle in the figure at right is equilateral. What is the measure of ∠AGE?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

120°

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles of an equilateral triangle are equal, and hence have a measure of 60°.

∵ ∠AGF is a part of equilateral Δ AGF, m∠AGF = 60°.

∵ ∠FGE is a part of equilateral Δ AGF, m∠FGE = 60°.

Also note that ∠AGE = ∠AGF + ∠FGE.

⇒ m∠AGE = m∠AGF + m∠FGE

⇒ m∠AGE  = 60° + 60°

                    = 120°.
