Solve for x, the triangles are similar

Mathematics
1 answer:
elixir [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ ESR and Δ EGF are similar, then ratios of corresponding sides are equal, so

\frac{ES}{EG} = \frac{ER}{EF} , substitute values

\frac{45}{12x-3} = \frac{55}{143} ( cross- multiply )

55(12x - 3) = 6435 ( divide both sides by 55 )

12x - 3 = 117 ( add 3 to both sides )

12x = 120 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 10

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is a bit unclear, so I'm going to assume you want the value of y or x:

(y+3)^2=-12(x-2)

-(y+3)^2/12=x-2

-(y+3)^2/12+2=x

(y+3)^2=-12(x-2)

y+3=sqrt(-12x+24)

y=sqrt(-12x+24)-3

Given the following cofunction sin(x - 3)° = cos(2x + 6)°, what is the measure of the smaller angle
Dmitriy789 [7]

Note :

sin(x) = cos (90-x)

Therefore,

sin(x-3) = cos(90-(x-3))

90-[x-3] = 2x+6

90-x+3 = 2x+6

3x = 93-6

x = 31-2

x = 29°
