Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
=
=
( cross- multiply )
8(3x - 20) = 56
24x - 160 = 56 ( add 160 to both sides )
24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )
x = 9
Solution
Question 1:
- Use of the area of squares to explain the Pythagoras theorem is given below
- The 3 squares given above have dimensions: a, b, and c.
- The areas of the squares are given by:
- The Pythagoras theorem states that:
"The sum of the areas of the smaller squares add up to the area of the biggest square"
Thus, we have:
Question 2:
- We can apply the theorem as follows:
Thus, the value of c is 26
