Answer:
Diagonal =26.11 units
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write put the information into an equation
2*(x+9) = 3*(x-7)
distribute the 2 and 3
2x + 18 = 3x - 21
Combine like terms (Xs and munbers) (in this case, it's easier to add 15 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides so both sides end up being positive)
33 = x
x=33

Answer:
a) yes; 12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x; SAS
b) x = 28 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The left-side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 12 : 8 = 3 : 2
The right side segments are in the ratio ...
top : bottom = 15 : 10 = 3 : 2
These are the same ratio, and the angle at the peak is the same in both triangles, so the triangles are similar by the SAS postulate.
Normally, a similarity statement would identify the triangles by the labels on their vertices. Here, there are no such labels, so we choose to write the statement in terms of the side lengths, shortest to longest:
12/15/17 ~ 20/25/x
__
The sides of similar triangles are proportional, so the ratio of longest to shortest sides will be the same in the two triangles. In the smaller triangle, the longest side is 17/12 times the length of the shortest side. The value of x will be 17/12 times the length of the shortest side in the larger triangle:
x = 17/12 · 20 = 340/12
x = 28 1/3
Answer:
<h2><em>
38°, 66° and 76°</em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle consists of 3 angles and sides. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. Let the angle be <A, <B and <C.
<A + <B + <C = 180° ...... 1
If the measure of one angle is twice the measure of a second angle then
<A = 2<B ...... 2
Also if the third angle measures 3 times the second angle decreased by 48, this is expressed as <C = 3<B-48............ 3
Substituting equations 2 and 3 into 1 will give;
(2<B) + <B + (3<B-48) = 180°
6<B- 48 = 180°
add 48 to both sides
6<B-48+48 = 180+48
6<B = 228
<B = 228/6
<B =38°
To get the other angles of the triangle;
Since <A = 2<B from equation 2;
<A = 2(38)
<A = 76°
Also <C = 3<B-48 from equation 3;
<C = 3(38)-48
<C = 114-48
<C = 66°
<em>Hence the measures of the angles of the triangle are 38°, 66° and 76°</em>
