Answer:

x = 21 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of long leg of larger triangle = 72 units

Length of hypotenuse of larger triangle = 75 units

Length of shorter leg of larger triangle = ?

Length of longer leg of smaller triangle = 24 units

Length of shorter leg of smaller triangle = 7 units

Length of hypotenuse of smaller triangle = 25 units

Since, we know that,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Perpendicular)² + (Base)²

From the given condition it is clear that smaller triangle is right angle triangle. Since both triangle are similar. That means, larger triangle is also right angle triangle.

The above equation can be written as,

75² = 72² + (Base)²

(Base)² = 75² - 72²

(Base)² = 441

Base = 21

Therefore, The length of shorter leg of larger triangle is 21 units.

What is the value of x?

Since all the angles are congruent, the sides must be congruent too.


So, just have one equation on one side equal to another.

5x= 3x+6

Subtract 3x from both sides.

2x=6

Divide 2 into both sides.

x=3.

We can check this by seeing if all the sides are the same.

5(3)= 15

6(3)-5= 15

3(3)+6= 15

I hope this helps!
