Find the ratio of the two similar sides that both dimensions are given.
The smaller triangle aide that is 4 units is the similar side of the larger triangle given as 8 units.
8 / 4 =2, this means the larger triangle is 2 times the size of the smaller triangle, which also means the smaller triangle is 1/2 the size of the larger triangle.
X on the smaller triangle is 1/2 11 units which equals 5.5 units.
Y is 2 times 3, which equals 6 units.
x = 5.5
y = 6
Answer:
<em>x = 1</em>
This is the equation that I interpreted:
6/(x) - 3 = 3/(x)
I have never worked with determining extraneous equations before, so I cannot answer the second part.
Given:
Two lines intersect each other.
Consider the below figure attached with this question.
To find:
The value of x.
Solution:
If two lines intersect each other then the vertically opposite angles are congruent and their measures are equal.
In the given figure, the measures of two vertically opposite angles are (2x+29)° and (9x-13)°.



Divide both sides by -7.


Therefore, the value of x is 6.
