Question

Find the value of x. A 2 B 4.8 C 6 D 6.4

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ DCA and Δ ABE are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{CA}{BE}$ = $\frac{DA}{AE}$ , substitute values

$\frac{18}{10}$ = $\frac{x+8}{8}$ ( cross- multiply )

10(x + 8) = 144 ( divide both sides by 10 )

x + 8 = 14.4 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 6.4 → D
