Answer

x = 6.4

Step by step explanation

The two triangles are similar. Therefore, they are in proportion.

8/10 =x/8

x = (8*8)/10

x = 64/10

x = 6.4

The value of x is 6.4

Thank you.

Answer:

The correct answer option is B. 6.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that in a pair of triangles, if two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. And if the two angle pairs are similar then the third pair must also be equal.

So, the corresponding sides are also proportional and we can write them as:

$\frac{8}{10} = \frac{x}{8}$

Now solve for x by cross multiplication to get:

$x = \frac{64}{10}$

$x=6.4$

Answer:

$A = 6$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $a$ denote a constant (a number, rather than a variable like $x$ .)

Let $f(x)$ denote an expression about $x$ (for example,

By the factor theorem, if $(x - a)$ is a factor of $f(x)$ , then $f(a) = 0$ . In other words, if all mentions of $x$ in the expression $f(x)\!$ are replaced with $a$ , then the expression should evaluate to zero.
