Yes, you are correct.
From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.
All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).
We can gather the following information from the given information.
- The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
- The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9
We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:
12/x = x/9
Using the cross product property gives us:
x² = 9 × 12
x² = 108
Taking the square root of both sides gives us:
x = √108
= 6 √3
Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Step-by-step explanation:
Using the law of cosines and sines, the measure of angle B is: 38.4°.
<h3>What is the Law of Cosines and Sines?</h3>
Law of cosines is: c = √[a² + b² ﹣ 2ab(cos C)]
Law of sines is: sin A/a = sin B/b = sin C/c
Use the law of cosines to find c:
c = √[12² + 18² ﹣ 2(12)(18)(cos 117)]
c ≈ 25.8
Use the law of sines to find angle B:
sin B/b = sin C/c
sin B/18 = sin 117/25.8
sin B = (sin 117 × 18)/25.8
sin B = 0.6216
B = sin^(-1)(0.6216)
B = 38.4°

The same line is written in two different forms
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8x = 9x - 7
-x = -7
x = 7
9(7)-7= 63-7=56
8(7)= 56
13y+7+56=180
13y+63=180
13y=117
y=9
13(9)+7= 117+7= 124
5y-11+56=90
5y+45=90
5y=45
y=9
5(9)-11+9(7)-7= z
45-11+63-7=z
34+56=z
90=z
