Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ TSU and Δ TRV are similar , thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substitute values
=
=
( cross- multiply )
3x = x + 16 ( subtract x from both sides )
2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 8
Answer:
the slope of line j is -1/8, the slope of lines m and n are both 8.
Explanation step by step:
Suppose j is the slope of line j, m the slope of line m and n the slope of line n. Since:
1. line j is perpendicular of line m, so j*m= -1
2. J is perpendicular of line n, so j*n=-1
3. m and n and parallel so m=n
As we want to know the slope of j we clear the equations presented to us in order to find it.
(1) m* n* j = -8, since n=m we have * j = -8.
we clear j;
replacing in the equation n*j = -1 we get
n*(-8/n^2) = -1. Thus n = 8. Since j = -1/n = -1/8.
