Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In $\triangle BAC, \: DE || AC$

Hence, by basic proportionality theorem:

$\frac{x + 2}{x} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: 2(x + 2) = 3x \\ \therefore \:2x + 4 = 3x \\ \therefore \:4 = 3x - 2x \\ \therefore \:4 = x \\ \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \:x = 4}}$

Write an equation parallel to the given line through the given line through the given point.

Law Incorporation [45]

The format of a line equation is y = mx + b
When two lines are parallel, their 'm' variables are equal.
Knowing this, the unknown line equation, so far, would look like this:
y = 9x + b
Since we know that the line equation goes through the point (2, 7)
7 = 18 + b
b = -11
y = 9x - 11

Snezhnost [94]

I assume by the length you mean height so,

$\frac{6908}{ \pi * 22^{2} }$ ≈ <span>4.54.

if you're supposed to round it, it'd be either 4.50, or 5
