The two triangles are similar what is the value of x? x=___

Mathematics
1 answer:
Dennis_Churaev [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have to know is that when two triangles are similar their sides will always be proportional. So we will create a proportion that goes like this...\frac{\Delta1side}{\Delta1base} =\frac{\Delta2side}{\Delta2base} but since it doesn't tell us the exact value of triangle 1. We will have to add 3 and 12 to get 15 which is the base of the first triangle. Now we're ready to write the proportion.

\frac{4x}{15}=\frac{3x+1}{12}

Now we cross multiply and solve the equation...

48x=15(3x+1)\\48x=45x+15\\3x=15\\x=5

So the value of x is 5.

Find the exact length of a x giving your answer in terms of 3 radical
jeyben [28]
I) Apparently, we are to assume that AX and BX are tangent to the circle. Then OX bisects angle AOB and by the definition of trig functions,
  AX = AO*tan(π/6)
  AX = (12 cm)*(√3)/3
  AX = 4√3 cm

ii) The area of triangle AXO is
  triangle area = (1/2)(12 cm)(4√3 cm) = 24√3 cm²
The area of quadrilateral AXBO is twice that, 48√3 cm².

The area of sector ABO is
  sector area = (1/2)r²θ
  sector area = (1/2)(12 cm)²(π/3)
  sector area = 24π cm²

Then the shaded area is the difference between the area of the quadrilateral and the sector.
  shaded area = (48√3 -24π) cm²
