Answer:
AE =15
Step-by-step explanation:
BC=16-12 = 4
AE=x
12/4 = x/5
Cross multiplication
4x=60
x=15
4x3 = 12
5x3 =15
The 3 inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees. Looking at the larger outside triangle the top angle is 30 and the lower right angle is 60.
30 + 60 = 90
The lower left angle needs to be 180 - 90 = 90 degrees.
That angle is split into two angles with one given as 70.
This means X needs to be 90 - 70 = 20 degrees.
x = 20
