At the point/angle E:
- the adjacent side(side <u>next to</u> the point/angle) is ED
- the opposite side(side of the triangle <u>across</u> from the point/angle) is DF
- the hypotenuse (the<u> longest side</u> of the triangle) is EF.
sin ∠E =
sin ∠E = (simplified)
x = 37.5 (or)
Solution:
Given
AC = 50, DE = 30, EC = 25, BE = x, BC = 25 + x
To find the value of x:
Property of similar triangles:
If two triangles are similar then the corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion.
Do cross multiplication, we get
Subtract 30x from both sides of the equation.
Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation, we get
x = 37.5 (or)
Hence the value of x is 37.5 or .
