Answer:

19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1st Case:</u>

4 and 5 are legs of the right triangle.

Using the pythagorean therom: a^2+b^2=c^2

We can say that 4^2+5^2=x^2

16+25=x^2

41=x^2

x=√41

√41 is about 6.4

x=6.4

<u>2nd Case</u>

5 is the hypotenuse of the right triangle and 4 is the legs.

Using the pythagorean therom: a^2+b^2=c^2

We can say that 4^2+x^2=5^2

16+x^2=25

x^2=9

x=3

<u>Final Step</u>

We need to multiply the two possible lengths for x. So for case 1 the length of x was 6.4 and for case two the length was 3. 6.4*3=19.2

Anwser: <u>19.2</u>

Maths question on algebraic equations ​= due in 10 minutes
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

108 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 16 = 3x - 12  (corresponding angles; AB parallel to CD).

16 + 12 = 3x - 2x

x = 28.

So the angle marked 3x - 12 = 3(28) - 12

= 72 degrees.

Angle y is adjacent to the angle so

y = 180 - 72

= 108 degrees.
