Question

(x + 4) mm What is the value of x according to this picture?

Answer 1

Answer:

  x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector creates proportional corresponding line segments on either side of it. That is ...

  (35 mm)/(56 mm) = (x +4) mm/(44.8 mm)

Multiplying by 44.8, you have

  44.8 · (35/56) = x + 4

  28 = x + 4                          simplify

  24 = x                               subtract 4
