If triangle abc is similar to triangle edc find the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{BC}{DC} = \frac{AC}{EC} , substitute values

\frac{3x-5}{32} = \frac{5x-5}{56} ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15

These questions are all of the same type: division. They ask to find how many of a number can fit in another number.

As for question 5, there are 42 pounds of dog food, and \frac{7}{8} pound of dog food is used for each feeding. To find the number of times Mr. Lash can feed his animals, divide 42 by \frac{7}{8}. The answer is 48.

Solving the rest of the questions by this method, here are the answers. If you wish you can do them yourself to verify your understanding.


6) 12

7) 4

8) 8

9) 2

Note: in question 9, the question is in reverse order compared to the other questions.

| 3. Find the Area of the triangle.<br> 8.6 yd<br> 10.9 yd
Nitella [24]

Given:

The base of the triangle = 8.6 yd

The height of the triangle = 10.9 yd

To find the area of the triangle.

Formula

The area of a triangle with b as base and h as height is

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

Now,

Taking, b= 8.6 and h = 10.9 we get,

A=\frac{1}{2}(8.6)(10.9) sq yd

or, A= 46.87 sq yd

Hence,

The area of the given triangle is 46.87 sq yd.
