What is the value of x? ​

Mathematics

mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar

The two triangles

1) the one making up the peak of the large triangle

2)the large triangle  

are similar. That is because the 2 bases are parallel and corresponding angles are equal. The third angle at the peak is common. So by AAA they are similar.

Proportion

Therefore the sides are in proportion.

5/40 = 3/(2x + 10)

Solution

Cross multiply

5*(2x + 10) = 40*3

Remove the brackets on the left. Combine the right.

10x + 50 = 120          

Subtract 50 from both sides

10x + 50 - 50 = 120 - 50

10x = 70

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 70/10

x = 7

Answer:  The first option with sss as part of the proof

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the arcs drawn in the constructions are the same, so when the line is drawn, the lengths of the sides will all be the same.  SSS is proof of congruence.

CPCTC is an acronym for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent."
