In the following figure, triangle ABC and triangle DEF are similar. What is the value of x ? Triangle ABC and triangle DEF are s

hown. Side AB measures 10 millimeters. Side BC measures 4 millimeters. Side CA measures 8.5 millimeters. Side DE is not labeled. Side EF measures 12 millimeters. Side FD measures x. (1 point) x = 16.5 mm x = 24 mm x = 25.5 mm x = 30 mm

X = 25.5 mm.

Using the similarity statement given, that ΔABC ~ ΔDEF, we set up a proportion:

8.5/x = 4/12

Cross multiply:
4*x = 8.5*12
4x = 102

Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 102/4
x = 25.5

Sviatoslav solved the quadratic equation x^2-x-1=0 by completing the square. In the process, he came up with the equivalent equa
zimovet [89]

Answer:

x=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2} and  x=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}

and b=\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a quadratic equation

x^2-x-1=0

We have to solve the equation by completing square and find the value of b.

(x)^2-2\times x\times \frac{1}{2}+(\frac{1}{2})^2-(\frac{1}{2})^2-1=0

(x-\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{1}{4}-1=0

(x-\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{1-4}{4}=0

(x-\frac{1}{2})-\frac{5}{4}=0

(x-\frac{1}{2})^2-(\frac{\sqrt5}{2})^2=0

(x-\frac{1}{2})^2=(\frac{\sqrt5}{2})^2

x-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sqrt5}{2} and x-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{\sqrt5}{2}

x=\frac{\sqrt5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}

And x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt5}{2}=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}

Therefore,x=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2} and  x=\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}

and b=\frac{5}{4}
