What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABP and triangle CDR are similar.  Thus, we can solve this problem for x using an equation of proportions:

hypotenuse     leg length

    15+42               10+x

----------------     =   ----------

       42                     x

Then (15+42)x  =  42(10+x) after cross multiplication

      57x            =  420 + 42x

Subtracting 42x from both sides, we get

      15x             =    420.

Dividing both sides by 15 results in

        x               =   28

The length of a rectangle is 6 inches longer than it’s width what are the possible widths if the area of the rectangle is at lea
stealth61 [152]

Let the width = x

length = x + 6

(x + 6) * x = 667

Simplify

x² + 6 = 667

x² + 6 (-6) = 667 (-6)

x² = 661

√x² = √661

x = √661

x = 25.71 (rounded)

25.71 in. is your width

hope this helps
